SUMMARY:Cinequest Film Fest
DESCRIPTION:Cinequest fuses innovation with the arts to empower great creations and to connect audiences\, youth\, artists\, and innovators with these creations and with each other—forging community\, joy\, and our future. Set in Silicon Valley\, Cinequest’s uniqueness\, impact\, and legacy result from applying this powerful integration of creativity and technology to democratize opportunity and to transform lives. Cinequest does this through the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival\, Cinejoy Virtual Festival\, and Picture The Possibilities global youth programs. \nCinequest opens with the magnificent World Premiere comedy Her Song and closes with the highly anticipated Maddie’s Secret and The Christophers — framing a festival journey that begins with innovation and ends in revelation. \nOpening Night: Cinequest 2026 opens on Tuesday\, March 10th at the majestic California Theatre in San Jose with a star-studded red carpet and the Opening Night film\, Her Song. Executive produced by the legendary James Ivory and starring Kalki Koechlin and Eléa Clair\, John M. Keller’s sparkling comedy sends an American novelist back to her grandmother’s French village in search of inspiration. What she finds instead is chaos\, charm\, and an unexpected muse whose irreverent worldview rewrites far more than just her next book. The evening features a special AI & Film presentation (below) before the screening and concludes with a post-screening celebration at the PETE B Center. \nClosing Night: Cinequest’s in-person festival concludes on Sunday\, March 22nd with two spectacular choices at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Mountain View. \nMaddie’s Secret: In his fearless debut\, John Early leads a powerhouse comedic cast including Kate Berlant\, Vanessa Bayer\, Eric Rahill\, and Kristen Johnston in a biting\, hilarious\, and unsettling exploration of wellness culture\, online performance\, and the secrets we hide to remain lovable — on camera and to ourselves. \nThe Christophers: The masterful Steven Soderbergh delivers a razor-sharp comedy as Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel face off in a delicious duel of ego\, art\, and ambition. When a sidelined artist is pulled into a scheme involving a legendary painter and unfinished masterpieces\, the line between integrity and invention becomes dangerously entertaining.

SUMMARY:Delhi-based Contemporary Artist Seema Kohli
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Art League\nFebruary 27 – March 1\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 27\, 5:30 to 8:30pm\nJanuary 2026\, Palo Alto\, CA –Celebrate a special engagement with one of India’s most distinguished contemporary artists\, Seema Kohli and her acclaimed artwork for five-days this February 2026 across Palo Alto at Stanford University\, the Pacific Art League\, Palo Alto Art Center\, and in Santa Clara at the Triton Museum. Kohli’s limited-time Bay Area exhibition\, Samsara & Metamorphosis: The Mystical World of Seema Kohli\, and programming engagement is made possible by Laasya Art and founder Sonia Patwardhan. The exhibition will present Kohli’s most recent paintings\, providing Bay Area collectors and art enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to view Kohli’s works in person. Known for her intricate\, surreal explorations of feminine power\, Seema Kohli creates multilayered narratives drawn from mythology\, spirituality\, and philosophy. For over four decades\, she has developed a distinctive body of work rooted in India’s ancient spiritual and mythological traditions\, while remaining deeply connected to the concerns of the present. \nRather than treating myth as a relic of the past\, Kohli approaches it as a living\, evolving language—one that brings together personal memory and lived experience to explore ideas of time\, identity\, and transformation. Her immersive visual worlds invite reflection and inner inquiry\, offering viewers a space where ancient wisdom and contemporary life meet. Her work is inspired by the generative forces of nature—its cycles of growth\, dissolution\, and\nrenewal. Central to Kohli’s visual language is Shakti\, the transformative power of the divine feminine. Kohli uses the womb as a potent symbol of creation and possibility\, exploring transformation within the eternal cycles of birth and death. Kohli’s practice weaves together diverse philosophical traditions\, informing her exploration of the body as a sacred vessel and a site of inner knowledge. Her use of 24-karat gold and silver leaf\, textiles\, metal\, and recycled yarn evoke ritual\, care\, and reverence within material form. Through what she describes as a process of “re-mythologizing” modern life\, Kohli offers a powerful counterpoint to a fragmented world—reanimating the sacred feminine as a source of imagination\, healing\, and freedom\, where the ancient and contemporary exist in luminous harmony. \nA self-taught artist who believes each creator discovers their own visual language\, she has developed a distinctive approach that honors women as powerful\, spiritual beings. Her paintings incorporate sacred symbols—from lotus flowers to the Tree of Life—while delving into themes of identity\, liberation\, and the divine feminine. Notes Kohli\, “My work begins in the body and returns to it. I use myth as a tool\, not to escape the present but to enter it more sharply\, to hold what is unresolved: memory and rupture\, desire and devotion\, tenderness and violence. Through gilding\, stitching\, layering pigment\, and inscribing yantras and texts\, I build images as thresholds\, spaces where the personal and the cosmic can collide without hierarchy. The faceless figure is not an absence; it is a refusal of fixed identity and a site of multiplicity\, a body that can become archetype\, witness\, vessel. Repetition is central to my practice. It is labor\, but also ritual\, a daily sadhana through which the image arrives and the self is re-made. I want the work to act like a ritual: slow\, durational\, transformative\, insisting that the sacred is immanent and made through attention.” \nKohli’s artistic journey reflects continual transformation and authenticity. Her practice spans painting\, murals\, films\, installations\, and sculpture\, showcasing her remarkable versatility. Her work stands out for its mix of spiritual richness and contemporary relevance\, exploring feminine identity\, self-realization\, and the pursuit of authenticity—ideas that resonate today while remaining rooted in timeless philosophical traditions.\n###\nSpecial Events (full programming descriptions below)\nFebruary 24:  Workshop: Triton Museum\, Santa Clara\, 11 am – 1:30 pm\nFebruary 24: Artist Talk and Poetry Narration: Stanford University\, 7pm\nFebruary 25: Workshop: Pacific Art League\, 11 am – 1:30 pm\, Palo Alto\, CA \nFebruary 26: Artist Talk: Palo Alto Art Center at 6:30 pm\nFebruary 27 – March 1: Exhibition at Pacific Art League\, Palo Alto\, CA \nSeema Kohli\, Rising of the Kundalini-Spiritual Awakening\, Acrylic and ink with 24 carat gold and silver leaf Seema Kohli: Exhibition & Events\, February 2026 \nExhibition at Pacific Art League\nSamsara & Metamorphosis: The Mystical World of Seema Kohli\nFriday\, February 27 – Sunday\, March 1\, 2026\nOpen to the public: 11 am – 6 pm\nOpening Reception:\nFriday\, February 27\, 5.30 – 8.30 pm\nEvent Programming Schedule\n1) Workshop at Pacific Art League\nTuesday\, February 24\, 2026\n11 am – 1.30 pm\nTitle: The Texture of Remembering\nDescription: This immersive workshop invites participants (18+) to explore how sense memory—smell\, taste\, sound\, and vision—shapes consciousness and the politics of aesthetics.

Framed through cosmic dualities—sky and earth\, sun and moon\, within and without—the talk will touch on the mandala as a mental and cosmic structure of balance and order. With bija mantra recitations and insights connecting a mandala installation gifted by SACHI to the Palo Alto Art Center\, this talk offers a resonant exploration of art\, reflection\, and interconnectedness. \nAbout the Artist Seema Kohli (b. 1960) is a multi-disciplinary artist working through the imagination of mythical and fantastical worlds from a eco feminist eye. Engaging with visual and performative mediums\, Kohli explores the themes of beauty and sensuality echoed in philosophy and spirituality studies across civilization. Her work primarily celebrates the cosmic feminine and its relationship to forces of creation and destruction. There is a focused engagement with the concept of Hiranayagarbha or The Golden Womb; she attempts to create new artistic identities by reshaping belongings\, bringing the past and the present into a dialogue through a process of decay\, hybridization and transformation. \nFor Kohli\, an experimental artist\, poetry is a recorded conversation between her\, the canvas\, and the rendered image. Where they are all living conscious being worthy of responding with emotions and sensitivity. Though she has been performing to her poetry as narratives\, in 2013 she self-published a compilation of verses\, “I Am” which was performed at TEDx\, Chennai. The second book “Experiencing The Goddesses” she is co-author and editor. She is already working on co-authoring the third book\, and one which is a compilation of her own poetry written in the last 17 years. \nSpanning over five decades of experiments in form and language\, Kohli’s works live in multiple museums and institutional collections all over the world\, including the British Museum (UK)\, MAP\, Bangalore\, India\, Kiran Nadar Museum of Arts (India)\, Partition Museum\, Birth Rites Collection (UK)\, Rubin Museum (USA\, Phoenix Museum of Art (Arizona\, USA) Bihar Museum(Patna)\, Bharat Bhavan\, Lalit Kala Akademie (India) NGMA(Bangalore) to name a few.

SUMMARY:Yantra Painting Workshop at Sivananda Vedanta Center Los Angeles

If you have completed a Ganesha Yantra\, you are welcome to work on a planet yantra. Each planet has a mantra and yantra and very specific energy. Participants work at their own pace.

SUMMARY:GODS IN LIVING COLOR: 19TH-CENTURY DEVOTIONAL LITHOGRAPHS FROM CALCUTTA
DESCRIPTION:For over two thousand years\, artists in the Indian Subcontinent have depicted Hindu deities through a wide range of media\, frequently innovating when new techniques and materials became available or in response to social or religious changes. One such moment occurred during the 19th century in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata)\, when new technologies of reproduction and systems of representation brought by the British Raj—and its allied systems of commerce and culture—opened up new representational possibilities. This lecture will address what happened when lithography and other depictive tools entered a local visual ecosystem already rich with indigenous forms of painted and printed devotional imagery. The new forms of sacred and mythological imagery that Bengali artists created during this moment of transformation were\, until recently\, mostly excluded from the art historical canon. Celebrating and exploring them not only broadens our view of the history of Indian art and religion but also helps us to understand the ever-expanding universe of sacred images that we see in home\, shop and office shrines around the globe today. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.
