Contribute to the Triveni Kala Sangam Archives
For the last 75 years, Triveni Kala Sangam has been a quiet sanctuary — where art, learning, and friendships have taken root and flourished. Now, as we begin building our archive, we invite you to share your part of its story. Triveni has been home to generations of artists, students, and art lovers. As we begin the process of building a comprehensive archive of this institution, we invite you to share your part of the story — whether through teaching, learning, creating, or simply witnessing.
Were you once a student wandering its corridors?
Did a performance move you in ways you still remember?
Did you exhibit your art works here?
Do you have a photograph, a diary entry, a ticket stub, or a leaflet tucked away — a small souvenir of a moment here?
Whether you created, taught, performed, learned, or simply paused for a while in our corridors — we’d love to hear from you. Your memories will help keep the spirit of Triveni alive for years to come.
Our goal is to preserve and document the diverse history of Triveni as experienced through its people, spaces, and practices. Your materials will help ensure that the memory and spirit of Triveni continue to inspire future generations.
