IndiGo and British Council launches a joint collaboration towards promoting cultural tourism to India’s arts and culture festivals. The collaboration will support events and festivals that are a part of the ongoing India/UK Together, a Season of Culture and highlight festivals happening throughout the year across the country.
The Season of Culture is a landmark programme that celebrates the friendship between India and the UK. As part of the Season of Culture 1,400 artists from both countries are showcasing their co-created assets in the field of dance, music, theatre, photography and other art forms, across India.
The collaboration will connect a larger number of Indian audiences with these global arts showcases through digital cross promotion across ‘Festivals from India’, a unique UK-India initiative that showcases India’s cultural festivals and connections with UK festivals and artists, and IndiGo’s communication channels.
Alison Barrett MBE, Director India, British Council said, “India’s art and culture offerings are globally loved by people across the world. The India/UK Together Season of Culture and its cultural showcases are attracting art lovers to all parts of the country. We are proud to partner with IndiGo and to be able to access their vast coverage of Indian cities to allow more and more Indians to visit the collaborations being put together by some of the most exciting emerging artists from India and the UK.”
