Red FM has announced the return of "The Kavi Collective - Regional Edit," a poetry festival celebrating the culture of spoken word in India.
The event is scheduled to take place in 8 Indian cities from February 17 to March 22, 2024.
"The Kavi Collective" is a flagship initiative by Red FM that offers a platform for artists to share their tales of love, hope, and the human experience through the power of spoken word. "The Kavi Collective - Regional Edit" will traverse various Indian regions, including Jabalpur, Nashik, Indore, Bhopal, Kanpur, Praygraj, and Jaipur.
The festival will feature artists, Sudeep Bhola, Ashok Chakradhar and Dinesh Bawra.
Nisha Narayanan, Director and COO, Red FM, and Magic FM, said, “In the world of spoken word, we at Red FM humbly embrace and promote the return of poetry to its roots. After 5 efficacious years of bringing The Kavi Collective online and on-ground in Delhi, this year we are giving it a regional maneuver. Some of these regions have birthed legendary poets that continue to inspire many. Therefore, with the regional edit of The Kavi Collective, we are hopeful that spoken word poetry will once again become a lifestyle for the listeners.”
