Behala Art Fest Foundation

We are based in Kolkata, specifically on the first floor of a building on Rai Bahadur Road. The flat is D-1, and we have been here for a bit now. Behala Art Fest Foundation is the name we use, but it’s really just a few of us who like the arts and wanted a place to organize things. The building is old, like a lot of places in Behala, and it has that specific Kolkata feel to it. It’s not a shiny new office block. We have some stairs to climb, and the hallway is a bit narrow. Inside, we have some space to sit and plan out what we are doing. There are usually some papers scattered around and maybe some old posters from things we’ve worked on before. It can get a bit crowded when more than four people are in the room, but we make it work. The traffic on Rai Bahadur Road is almost always there, so there is a constant hum of engines and horns in the background. It feels very connected to the city life. We don't have any big corporate goals; we just want to keep this little space going so we can do our work. It is a simple life, mostly spent on the phone or sitting at the big wooden table we have in the main room. It's just a regular local spot.
