About the Nami Island Arts & Education Company:
Nami Island Arts & Education, a company that conducts various international exchanges, cultural projects and educational projects is based on Nami Island, a representative tourist destination in Korea. Nami Island's connection with India and its culture began almost two decades ago with the 2005 exhibition of picture book illustrations by A. Ramachandran. This was followed by an exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi, India's great spiritual leader in 2010 and a painting exhibition in 2013 with the Indian poet Tagore's 'Gitanjali' as its central motif. Since Korea and India established a “special strategic partnership” in 2015, “Sarang: The Festival of India-Nami Island” has been held annually in cooperation with the Indian Embassy and the Indian Cultural Center in Korea. Every year, Nami Island transforms into a cultural hub where visitors from home and abroad can experience the vibrant and captivating Indian culture through diverse performances, exhibitions and other hands-on experiences.
