Moseying around the exhibits at Southbank Centre's Alchemy festival this past weekend – an annual showcase of music, dance, literature, design and debate from India,
South Asia and the UK – what struck me was the range of cultural and
social ties between the participating nations. In similar fashion, the Unbox Festival in Delhi earlier this year showcased the cream of India's burgeoning design, art and technology sectors.
Given its longstanding relationship with India's creative entrepreneurs, the British Council's creative economy unit
recognised the potential of the UnBox platform to anchor a larger
peer-to-peer UK-Indian knowledge exchange programme, as well as foster
greater cultural relations between academia and industry.
