Serendipity Arts Festival 2025, India
The Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono is leading a delegation of seven New Zealand festival directors, programmers, and performing arts leaders to the Serendipity Arts Festival 2025 in India in December.
India’s performing arts sector is among the most dynamic in the world, anchored by a population of 1.4 billion and driven by a young, urban audience eager for new forms of theatre, dance, and music.
Major centres like Mumbai and Delhi are home to a thriving ecosystem of venues, festivals, and producers, while Goa’s Serendipity Arts Festival has become one of South Asia’s most influential multidisciplinary platforms.
For New Zealand performing arts leaders, this signals a rare opportunity to understand a huge and youthful audience base, discover innovative cross-genre practices, and build long-term collaborations with influential South Asian counterparts.
