THE OPEN MIKE:BHUBANESWAR
The Open Mike Project – Kalanirvana International Art Center
Started in 2015 at Hyderabad, The Open Mike Project is one of Kalanirvana’s most loved and experimental initiatives, born through creative collaborations with cafés and restaurants—spaces where ideas breathe freely and art meets everyday life. After nurturing hundreds of emerging voices, the project now arrives in Bhubaneswar, the cultural capital of ancient Eastern India.
Rooted in the glorious legacy of Kalinga, this edition aims to revive the region’s cultural spirit in a contemporary, inclusive, and cross-disciplinary format. The Open Mike Project is Kalanirvana’s humble yet powerful attempt to create a democratic platform where creativity speaks without hierarchy, and talent finds an audience beyond galleries and auditoriums.
