Alchemy Festival at Southbank Centre - Day 3

Event Date: 18/04/2011

Alchemy is Southbank Centre’s 11-day journey into the richness, contrasts and confluences of the relationship between the UK, India and South Asian culture. Returning for a second year, the festival takes over the site with traditional and contemporary music and dance, debate, literature, film, craft and fashion. Building on relationships between Southbank Centre and leading artists and cultural organisations in the UK and the Indian subcontinent, the festival looks at the region’s fast-changing economic and cultural landscape, exploring its relationship with and influence on the UK, the juxtapositions between classical and folk traditions and notions of urban and rural progress. Our WinkBall citizen video reporters were there on Sunday, 17th April 2011, to capture the passion of those in attendance. Were YOU there?
