Things to do in Ahmedabad this weekend

2) Examining a city’s industrial & historical fabric through a movie
​​​​​​​Saacha: The Loom, a film by Anjali Monteiro and KP Jayasankar, chronicles the changing life and times of a city — in this case, Mumbai. Creating a unique visual blend of poetry and paintings with memories of the city, the movie examines “the politics of representation, the relevance of art in the contemporary social milieu, the dilemmas of the left and the trade union movement and the changing face of a huge metropolis.” Filmed in 2000, around the time the cotton textile industry in the city was on its deathbed, the film looks poignantly at these mills and workers who are now only a part of the city’s history.

WHEN: Today, 5:30 pm |
Tomorrow & Sunday, 11:30 pm
Where: Arthshila Ahmedabad, Opposite Ahmedabad Management Association, Panjara Pol, Ambawadi

3) State set to host 10-day long Vasantotsav 2025

The Sports, Youth and Cultural Activities Department, Government of Gujarat, in collaboration with the Commissioner, Youth Services and Cultural Activities Office, Gandhinagar, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and Western Region Cultural Centre, Udaipur, is organising ‘Vasantotsav 2025’ in Gandhinagar. The festival will be held for ten days starting today at Sanskruti Kunj. The festival will begin today with nine different forms of dances, which will include Beda dance by the Turi Barot Community, Mishra Ras, Siddi dhamal and Dangi dances from Gujarat, Gotipua Dance from Orissa, Kavadi Kadgam dance from Tamil Nadu, Pung cholam dance from Manipur and Bihu dance from Assam.

4) Celebrating all things Gujarati with LD Engg’s Sahitya Sarita event
The LD College of Engineering, in association with Gujarat Sahitya Akademi, is hosting the seventh edition of Sahitya Sarita, a unique festival that will “bridge the realms of technology and literature” while celebrating Gujarati poetry, literature, and culture. The event, managed entirely by students, will have programs including literary events and competitions, mushaira, and a musical night – essentially, all things Gujarati.

WHEN: Today, 8 am onwards | Tomorrow, 2 pm onwards Where: LD College of Engineering, University Road ENTRY: Open for all

5) Theatrical tribute to an icon & life

An ode to the legendary Sahir Ludhianvi, the play Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon, to be performed as part of Natarani’s theatre festival, is an attempt to translate onto stage the turbulent and inspiring journey of the poet, his personal struggles, his romances, and his contributions to Indian cinema. An amalgamation of poetry, music, and drama, this is a tribute to the genius who continues to be hailed as an icon. Another powerful show on the horizon is Solène Weinachter’s After All, which delves into one of life’s most poignant questions – what happens in the end? Using dance, comedy, storytelling, and theatre, Solène guides the audience towards what is, perhaps, an answer.
