Culture All is a series of open conversations on the C word for social and cultural awareness.

It sets out to connect young Mumbaikars to what’s new in the different areas of life around, which is constantly being changed, impacted upon by visionaries living and working right in the midst! The only common factor between them all - they are Indians first, but ambassadors to the world!

The mantra: Inquire, Interact and Introspect.

Mumbai has always been a pretty trendy spot with regards to poetry and poetic expression. It is one of the most active hubs of performing poetry in India and the favourite part is that it tolerates no language bars for the poets.

It has allowed people from all walks of life to express themselves in an innovative space without prejudice. Thanks to this, verse forms like Urdu poetry have now adapted urban elements; discussing the social status of today’s metropolitan millennials.

However, with the media ever-focusing on celeb drama, most people never get a chance to learn about this stuff. You never hear about that one female Urdu poet whose story strikes a chord with millions across – or the youngsters who are running a thriving course on Iqbal, the iconic poet, but never get a platform to display their accomplishments.

In lieu of this disparity, Culture All has decided to offer a helping hand to these young artists in their new segment:
