From a legendary Spanish band’s first performance in India to a Nikkei cuisine special, Verve gives you the lowdown on the events that should be on your radar this weekend.

ART 

The Castle of Crossed Destinies, Mumbai

The first in a series of exhibitions to celebrate Art Musings’ 20th anniversary,  The Castle of Crossed Destinies, curated by Ranjit Hoskote, includes works in diverse media by artists Ajay Dhandre, Baiju Parthan, Chittrovanu Mazumdar and Nandan Purkayastha. Their artworks find a common theme in their pursuit to understand what it means to be human, animal or machine, and “to belong to several species or categories of being at the same time”. From multimedia works to sculptures, the artists’ creations are both evocative and intriguing.
