Jaipur isn’t Goa. It’s a great, fun place. But there’s no sea. But this is Kyoorius Designyatra. The destination for all the design folk, especially those in the visual arts.
Every year, for the last 11 years, Rajesh Kejriwal has been conducting the event. Pouring in top $$$s on content, and making it a classy affair.
The eleventh edition of Kyoorius Designyatra moved to Jaipur this year, with the theme: “Why am I here?†The event started today at the Fairmont Hotel on the outskirts of the Pink City and is spread over a period of three days – September 29 to October 1. The theme will explore facets of creativity – whether we are chasing our passions or just doing mundane work; be it in designing, writing, shooting or exploring multiple avenues for creativity.
This year, some 1300 delegates are registered to participate in the various workshops, discussion sessions and portfolio reviews providing the audience a platform for interactions. Plus a host of speakers:
