Moments from previous editions of the festival
Do you ever visit art galleries, and feel that the visual pieces sometimes have more to say than to display? Paradoxes after another are slapped on the face, until one is lost for words. On behalf of GenZers, this writer would like things to be simple, straight forward and accessible. Thinking along the same lines, a 25-year-old Romario Rodrigues founded Optikal Asylum in 2019.
“We started out as an experimental party,” Rodrigues shares. “Our focus was on visual artists because I found that there was a dearth of opportunities for them. Yes, there were art galleries, but they have always been a gated platform for fine or formal artists. Patrons are also generally from the older generations and like things to be serious and disciplined. Keeping in mind the new generation, our set-ups are always in a club or a café. We provide a platform to graffiti artists and muralists, graphic designers, tattoo artists, and musicians.”
