Songs of Resistance and Freedom
A day of celebrating culture at Navatman
Immerse yourself in a day of art, culture, and inspiration at "The Echoes of Resistance & Freedom"!
Experience the profound beauty of Indian classical dance as Sahasra Sambamoorthy, the visionary founder of Navatman, takes the stage with spellbinding performances in Bharatanatyam and Kathak. These performances promise to be a mesmerizing journey through tradition, storytelling, and movement—embodying not only the timeless essence of these classical forms but also delving into powerful themes of womanhood, freedom, societal shifts, struggles, and the spirit of upliftment.
Adding a vibrant twist, our artist residency partner, the Baila Society, will bring their dynamic salsa performances to the spotlight. This collaboration underscores the importance of supporting women-led schools and businesses while celebrating the universality of rhythm and the ways movement transcends cultural boundaries. Together, Navatman and Baila Society highlight the power of art to foster community and connection.
The event will also feature heartfelt moments with the students of Navatman, who will share their personal journeys, expressing gratitude and reflecting on how the arts have shaped their lives and identities.
