The Story

Organizer

Thiruvananthapuram is Kerala's capital and an important cultural city, home to Sree Chitra Art Gallery, the Kerala Museum, and significant classical dance and music traditions. Despite this, the city's festival scene is less developed than Kozhikode (Kerala Literature Festival) or Thrissur (ITFOK, Pooram). Olam was conceived as a multidisciplinary arts festival rooted in Thiruvananthapuram, giving the capital city a cultural platform that reflects its own artistic identity rather than importing the programmes of other Kerala cities.

✦

Cultural Significance

▾

Thiruvananthapuram's cultural identity, shaped by the Travancore kingdom's patronage of classical arts and the modern state's investment in cultural infrastructure, deserves a dedicated multidisciplinary platform. Olam provides this at the scale appropriate for a capital city festival.

◈

Why It Matters Today

▾

A multidisciplinary arts platform rooted in Kerala's capital, complementing the state's other major festivals with a Thiruvananthapuram-centred cultural programme.
