Rasa is an innovative India-themed multi-arts festival, produced by Akshara, an Ann Arbor, Michigan based multi-arts organization. It is held annually in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and the greater Detroit area.
This year, the Festival will present one or two in-depth events monthly, from October 2021 to April 2022. In addition to presenting new work by artists, they will engage them in short but meaningful discussions about the process behind their work and their inspiration to create new work.
