Conversations & Big Ideas
We host talks and discussions that spark curiosity and challenge perspectives. Join authors, historians, scientists, and social entrepreneurs as they share their work on topics ranging from Bangalore's history and environmental conservation to the complexities of AI and the future of India.
Performing Arts: Dance & Theatre
Our stage comes alive with the magic of movement and storytelling. We curate a diverse range of performances and workshops, from the grace of classical Odissi and Bharatanatyam to the vibrant energy of folk dances like Lavani, alongside contemporary theatre productions and workshops for all ages.
Performing Arts: Music & Rhythm
From the soulful strains of Carnatic and Hindustani classical to the improvisational energy of jazz and the unifying power of a drum circle, music is a cornerstone of Koota. We host concerts, interactive workshops, and unique musical dialogues that bring together artists and audiences.
Hands-On Workshops
Get your hands messy and your creativity flowing. We offer a variety of beginner friendly workshops where you can learn a new skill, from the ancient art of Shibori dyeing and Gond painting to the practical joys of organic home gardening and pottery. All materials are provided, just bring an open mind.
Film, Art & Exhibitions
Our space transforms to host compelling visual stories. We screen thought provoking documentaries and independent films, often followed by discussions with the filmmakers. We also curate art exhibitions and installations, offering a platform for artists to share their work and for you to experience art up close.
Community Gatherings & Play
Koota is a place to connect, unwind, and simply have fun. Join our popular Jigsaw Jams for a relaxing afternoon of puzzling, share a meal and stories at our Local Food Club potlucks, or test your knowledge at a fun quiz night. These events are all about the joy of community.
Library@Koota: Books & Readers
Our library is more than just a collection of books; it's a living space for readers and storytellers. We host book launches, author talks, and our unique "Friendly Neighborhood Curator" series, where community members share their favorite reads. It's a place to discover new books and connect with fellow book lovers.
For Our Younger Audience
We believe learning should always come with fun. We host a range of events for children, including our Makkala Masti summer camps, interactive theatre workshops, author readings, and creative art sessions. It's a space for kids to explore their imagination, build confidence, and make new friends.
