Bhubaneswar: A storytelling festival is being organised this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) at Bakul Library in Bhubaneswar’s Satyanagar.
Since most Summer Camps conducted by schools and different organizations are already over, and children still have a few weeks of summer vacation, Bakul decided to organize the Summer Festival of Storytelling from 4 pm to 8 pm on both days. More than 20 storytellers, including professional storytellers, teachers, students, retired persons, grandmothers and homemakers, from the city will narrate their favourite tales in English, Hindi and Odia.
Bakul Foundation, which had conceptualized and curated BhuFeSto in 2018 and organized it recently in 2023 with BDA as part of the Dot Fest, has played a pioneering role in bringing back the popularity of storytelling.
Sujit Mahapatra, the founder of Bakul Foundation, said, “When we first curated BhuFeSto, we were struggling to find Odia storytellers to match the best international and national storytellers we had invited to the festival. But now, we have enough storytellers (more than 20) to have a festival only with local storytellers.”
