- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Theme: The Earth Remembers: A Creative Living Archive 

Co-programmed by Dr Shwetal A. Patel 

KCC presents the 7th edition of its annual symposium Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (VK) with the theme being ‘The Earth Remembers: A Creative Living Archive’ scheduled for 16-17 January 2026 at Kolkata Centre for Creativity, Kolkata.  

The two-day programming aims to bring together leading figures and contemporary practitioners – advancing conversations across art, craft, design, architecture, ecology, and community practices. This year, VK will focus on a region underrepresented in India’s cultural mainstream: Eastern and Northeastern India. This vast geography – home to vibrant indigenous communities, old and newly expanding urban centres, rich biodiversity, and deeply rooted artistic and craft traditions – offers vital, alternative models of sustainability, cultural resilience, and collective living. At VK VII, through illustrated presentations, conversations, panel discussions, screenings, audience integration, workshops, and more, we seek to amplify these perspectives. 

Speakers: Bijoy Jain (keynote speaker) | Deepika Sorabjee | Deepthi Sasidharan | Gustav Imam | Jatwang Wangsa | Dr Kalyan Kumar Chakravarty | Nandita Palchoudhuri | Radhi Parekh | Dr Ritu Sethi | Ruma Choudhury | Udit Mittal
