A Cultural Carnival That Defies Convention
Le’ Chakallas returns to Mumbai as a multi-day cultural carnival that positions itself as more than a festival—it is an immersive experience rooted in rebellion, collaboration, and unfiltered expression. Running from 25 February to 1 March 2026 at Artisan Coterie, the event invites artists and audiences into a space that is raw, electric, and alive with possibility.
Curated Through Collective Vision
Curated by Artisan Coterie in collaboration with Mandali Talkies and Koshala Literature Festival, Le’ Chakallas brings together diverse creative energies. The festival is conceived as a meeting ground where disciplines intersect and hierarchies dissolve.
Where Creation Replaces Performance
At Le’ Chakallas, artists do not merely perform for an audience—they create alongside them. Stages extend into café corners, conversations spill into corridors, and spontaneous collaborations emerge across mediums. The festival foregrounds participation over presentation, making art a shared and evolving language.
Conversations, Collaboration, and Community
From structured sessions to informal exchanges, Le’ Chakallas thrives on dialogue. Strangers become collaborators, ideas travel freely, and artistic boundaries blur. The atmosphere encourages curiosity, risk-taking, and honest engagement, reflecting a belief that art is most powerful when experienced collectively.
An Open, Immersive Experience
Designed as an open and immersive cultural space, the festival invites visitors to come for the art, stay for the conversations, and leave inspired. Across its multi-day programme, Le’ Chakallas creates room for reflection, connection, and creative freedom—free from rigid formats and expectations.
