Traveling festival across 5 metropolitans in India

The centrepiece of the year of Germany in India is the “Indo-German Urban Mela”, a set of modern multi-purpose pavilions, designed especially for the year of Germany in India by renowned German artist Markus Heinsdorff. The concept behind the “Indo-German Urban Mela” combines design elements from both countries with state-of-the-art textile technology, thereby creating a symbiosis of art, architecture and technology.

• The “Urban Mela” will be set up for ten days each starting in Mumbai and will move on to Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi and Pune subsequently.

• The set of pavilions consists of six differently shaped modules. They will be arranged and adapted to the local conditions to create a unique temporary festival venue.

• The pavilions will host interactive presentations by various German corporations and organisations on topics and solutions related to “StadtRäume – CitySpaces”.

• In addition, a comprehensive programme, including cultural performances and conferences, will be held at the venue. There will also be a food and beverage area allowing the visitors to get a taste of special delicacies from the German kitchen.
