KCC Baithakkhana: Chapter 3 is a three-day Bengali literary meet centred on the theme of সীমানা / Border. Curated by Chandril Bhattacharya and Sanchari Mookherjee, the programme brings together writers, performers, and thinkers across disciplines.
The line-up includes panel discussions, author talks, readings, performances, and music sessions, creating a multi-format exploration of the theme. Through these sessions, the festival examines how geographical, social, and cultural boundaries shape literature, identity, and lived experience, while also looking at how creative practices respond to and challenge these ideas.
Structured as an in-person gathering, KCC Baithakkhana offers a space for exchange between artists and audiences, with a focus on contemporary Bengali literature and interdisciplinary engagement.
