Mindscape is an inter-disciplinary ideas and arts festival anchored around a set of talks, performances, screenings, workshops and exhibitions. Navi Mumbai, a city with a unique history and character is the host city of the festival.
The festival, which is open to all and free to attend is organised by X-Pican, the alumni association of Pillai College of Architecture with support from the Pillai University. The 9th edition of the festival will be held at the amphitheatre at the Rock Garden in Nerul on January 16th, 17th & 18th, 2026. It is the weekend and the programmes will be in the evenings between 6 & 9:30 PM.
This edition, we bring to you content covering subjects as wide as Urban Futures, Digital Anthropology, Arts & Community, AI & Machine Learning, Motorcycling Culture, Food & Content Creation, Food & Sustainability, Music, and Cinema.
Through the festival, we are also hoping to build a network of arts/culture/community based collectives in Navi Mumbai. We hope to present these communities through short videos or short introductions by collective members during the course of the programs.
