On March 14, 15 and 16, the Peabody Essex Museum again welcomed the colorful sights and  sounds of Holi, India’s annual spring festival, with an array of exciting programs. Atrium Alive: India featured artist demonstrations, music performances, film

screenings and hands-on art activities for the entire family. Highlights included Anita Ratnam, one of India’s leading dance icons, and a screening of the award-winning film Vanaja. Held in conjunction with two ongoing PEM exhibitions — Gateway Bombay and Of Gods and Mortals — the weekend explored Indian tradition and its connections with the present.

 Atrium Alive: India is made possible in part due to the generosity of The Desai Family Foundation, Samir and Nilima Desai and the Lowell Institute.
