Gaatha

Mumbai International Storytelling Festival 2024.

Welcome to India's most awaited storytelling festival - Gaatha - Mumbai International Storytelling Festival. Join us this season of festivals in October, on 18, 19 and 20th for the second edition of Gaatha at the Somaiya Vidyavihar University Campus. This year the festival theme of Gaatha is Mukhauta - Unmasking Narratives.

Stories matter! They matter because they are still the way we explain, who we are and who we want to be? Who do we want to be? Who do we want our children to be? Think about that. Come to Gaatha and let’s listen to STORIES.

Welcome to Gaatha 2024
