I did not attend the musical performances at the Bandodkar Grounds or the performances hosted on Santa Monica by Shubha Mudgal and cannot remark on those. Shubha had invited me to those but I was unfortunately occupied in the evenings with other commitments elsewhere. I saw the exhibits at 4 of the main sites, viz., Old PWD, Old Ribandar Hospital, Old Secretariat (Adilshah Palace), Old GMC. My top 2 picks - really the only draw for me of the whole show - were the Panjim 175 project of Vivek Menezes at the Old OWD site and the Goan Musicians in Indian Classical Music exhibit put together by Aneesh Pradhan at the Old Ribandar Hospital location. Vivek's idea of the '"7 Sisters" exhibit anchored by the 'roin' was an inspired one and beautifully implemented by the Goan artists. I also enjoyed the kunbi clothing tableau put together by Pritha Keni (who I knew when she was a little girl). The lowest of the low of the Festival was at the Old GMC, an exhibit by the American 'artist' Paul McCarthy - a pile of vile, disgusting, retch-worthy product of his sphincter packaged as 'art.' Flush it down the toilet together with your head, McCarthy you bum.............>>>>>>>>
