From an art party for kids to a comedy evening and delicious feasts for Ramadan and Women's Day, here are five events you don't want to miss
AN ART PARTY FOR KIDS
Method Kala Ghoda is inviting kids and their parents to spend a day at the gallery. Little art enthusiasts will get to dance and sing their time away, enjoy an art walk through two exhibitions and colouring time while munching on some cookies. One of the shows, Scribble on the Wall, presented by LOAM, features artists like Amrit Pal Singh, Anitha Reddy, Hansika Mangwani and Harshita Sharma. It asks the question why might the art of our time matters more to a child than anything else. According to the curators, the participatory nature of the works makes art alive to young children. At Method Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, 8 March, 11am-1.30pm (ages 2-5), and 2pm-3.30pm (ages 6-10).
