FUNKAARI LIVE: A Night of Belonging & Beginning

Funkaari Live is where poetry meets live music, and storytelling becomes something you don’t just listen to, you feel. This culturally rich evening brings together performance, sound, and spoken word in an intimate setting where each act unfolds like a shared conversation.

Expect a night that moves gently, pulls at your heartstrings, and leaves you feeling more connected than before - moving across genres, languages, and lived experience. From raw vocals to multi-layered songs built live in the moment, Funkaari Live is designed to foster expression, reflection, and belonging.

This first edition reflects the refreshing energy Art A Wish is embracing this year—rooted in new beginnings and renewal. Suchita, Navratti, and Tharun come together to share their practices and stories.

This event is for anyone who loves:

• Poetry, spoken word, and storytelling
• Live music in intimate settings
• Cultural fusion and multilingual expression
• Community-led art spaces
• Slow, soulful evenings that feel meaningful

Whether you come alone or with friends, you’re welcome here.

Art A Wish is a community-led cultural initiative and a third place: a home between the private world and the public one. Through intimate gatherings rooted in art, storytelling, and creative reflection, we create spaces where artists and audiences meet as humans first. Our events are designed to invite slowness, emotional honesty, and a deeper sense of belonging.
