Scentscape by Havah
Using a range of rare and precious natural aromatics, Havah returns to the festival in enhanced form with even more sensory experiences. In addition to perfumery workshops, where fielders can learn how to make their own perfumes, and the immersive scentscape experience in the Palace courtyard that entices one to explore and walk through different scents, Havah will also be working to make scent an integral part of the festival experience. They will be using customised, complex fragrances throughout festival spaces to augment the mood of different spaces and mark transitions in the day, and a very special olfactory experience to accompany the Puqaar Stage. Immersive yourself in perfume.

Live Heritage Futurism
Drawing inspiration from the heritage of Alsisar Mahal, artist Ria Panjabi will be using Midjourney as a creative tool to envision a live painting of a woman who might have lived there, but reimagined as if she existed far into the future. Part of her series called ‘Astro Didi’, she draws on the juxtaposition of the rich textures of old textiles with futuristic headgear and accessories, blending tradition and innovation to explore a vision where the past meets an imagined future. Witness the painting come to life in real-time, while also picking up prints from the various other corners of Ria’s mind.

Treasure Hunt
Saluting the bedouins of this fest
Herein lies your noble quest
A fabled treasure you may yet find
If you behold the power of your mind
You can fly solo or as a flock
The first clue is yours to unlock
Monkeys will find the highest perch
Follow the stars to begin your search
