Commenting on the curation for special experience ‘Voice for Change’, Ravi Solanky, Founder of The Social House, stated “I always believed that Art has no political, regional, social constraint and thus it’s the most powerful tool to bring the change. And that’s the reason for the establishment of The Social House, it’s a room for every kind of art and artist, where artists are being respected and art is being cherished. The idea of Voice for Change popped up in our minds way back when we saw introverted people speaking their heart out at our stage without any fear. We hosted chapters on Mensturation, girl education etc before and the result was tremendous. So now we intend to bring our IP ‘Voice for Change’ mainstream and reach out to maximum people and bring a bigger difference.
