KCC Ramjhol 4.0
Venue: KCC Amphitheatre, KCC 4th Floor, Studio Space, KCC Cafe
Date: 30 Jul - 01 Aug, 2026
KCC returns with its fourth edition of KCC Ramjhol with the theme Desert Meets Delta, a multidisciplinary cultural festival that celebrates the enduring relationship between Rajasthan and Kolkata. Across three days, the festival brings together artists, scholars, musicians, writers, artisans, and audiences through performances, workshops, exhibitions, talks, culinary experiences, language sessions, and community engagement programmes. The story of Rajasthan and Kolkata is one of movement, adaptation, and exchange. Over generations, communities travelled from the deserts of Rajasthan to the riverine landscapes of Bengal, carrying with them their languages, traditions, entrepreneurial spirit, faith, and artistic practices. In turn, Kolkata shaped these communities in profound ways, creating a shared cultural landscape that continues to evolve today. The festival will feature performances, discussions, workshops, exhibitions, outreach programmes, and special presentations by distinguished artists, scholars, and cultural practitioners from across India. Together, they will explore questions of migration, identity, belonging, language, and cultural continuity through diverse artistic forms.
