YATRA ART AND CULTURE FOUNDATION

Founded in 2005, Yatra Art & Culture Foundation is a cultural hub in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, based in Kuilapalayam near Auroville. We promote performing arts, documentaries, cultural events, and art education through classes in dance, drama, music, painting, and traditional forms like silambam. Partnering with NGOs and communities, we also use street theatre, puppetry, and video nights to raise awareness on social and environmental issues.

Our founder, Yatra Srinivassan has devoted his life to film and theater. Though receiving a B.A. in Economics from Madras University, he later pursued a D.F. Tech at Manner Institute of Video and Film Technology in Chennai. He has written, directed, and acted in many short films, documentaries and street theatre productions.
