Manjamma Jogati, a transgender artiste known for her Jogati dance and chairperson of Karnataka Janapada Academy, will be the honorary president of the Kalyana Karnataka Artistes Forum to be formed shortly. Addressing a media conference here on Wednesday, Ms. Jogati said that the purpose of the forum is safeguarding the interests of artistes in the region who were deprived of their rights and opportunities. “Artistes from Kalyana Karnataka have always been deprived of opportunities despite having a high level of talent. Popular artistes always get better opportunities, honorariums and treatment than those from the Kalyana Karnataka region in all the government programmes. We are going to form this collective of artistes from the region to take up these issues. Artistes of all cultural forms, including music, theatre, dance and Bayalata, from across the seven districts of Kalyana Karnataka will be involved in the soon-to-be-formed forum,” Ms. Jogati said.More Related News
