Nam Marabu Series
The Nam Marabu Series is an initiative by ATAM and in collaboration with the Indian Heritage Centre in Singapore designed to create awareness and appreciation of Indian traditional folk arts. The series aims to address the challenges faced by traditional art forms in a globalized, fast-paced world dominated by popular culture. By organizing cultural engagement activities such as workshops, dialogue sessions, and performances, the series seeks to foster collaboration among Indian arts groups, preserving, promoting and protecting the traditional folk arts, and particularly the younger generations, in valuing their cultural heritage.
