IIT Bombay’s first queer festival called ‘Rangavali’ organised by Saathi Club, the LGBTQ+ resource group at IIT, will take place on March 25 and March 26. The objective of this two-day celebration is creating awareness on LGBTQ+ rights and highlighting the need for sensitisation towards people of all genders and orientations.
The festival will have multiple interaction sessions and panel discussions on diversity and inclusivity with LGBTQ activists, mentioned the organisers. Along with movie screenings and students will get an opportunity to showcase their talents. There will be LGBTQ+ quiz and a queer ramp walk.
The first-ever session of Rangavali, sponsored by IIT Bombay administration, is believed to become an annual inter-college event on the lines of ‘Mood Indigo’ and ‘Techfest’.
