Pablo Ganguli (born 23 November 1983) is a cultural entrepreneur [1] artist, producer, director [2] and impresario [3] who has created[4] and directed several international festivals,[5] movements and summits of arts, literature, media, film, fashion and culture, through his organisation Liberatum.[6] After starting his career with spearheading cultural missions in Morocco, Russia and India, Ganguli achieved recognition for his role in founding [7] the Liberatum multimedia creative platform.

Ganguli is the mastermind [8] behind leading international cultural diplomacy ventures ranging from Hong Kong to Berlin, New York [9] to Moscow to Istanbul.[10] His ventures forge cultural relations between nations and connect the world's finest minds with each other globally through multidisciplinary cultural programmes, summits and specially curated festivals. Ganguli's organisation Liberatum also promotes environmental, human rights, freedom of speech and other important issues.[11]

Early life

Ganguli was born in a Bengali Hindu Brahmin family in Kolkata, West Bengal, India,[12] reportedly the son of an art historian. Some sources state that one of his great-grandfathers was the private secretary to Rabindranath Tagore, the Bengali poet who was Asia's first Nobel laureate.[13] As an infant, Ganguli was brought up by his grandmother. He claimed he had never met his mother, and throughout his childhood was only visited by his art-historian father once a month.[14] He grew up in Kolkata in a creative environment pursuing artistic interests.[15]

Career

In August 2006, a columnist in the Evening Standard of London noted that Ganguli had made 'the remarkable journey from a student studying French in Calcutta to, seemingly, one of the world's leading literary salonistas in just three years'.[12]

The December 2007 issue of the British Esquire magazine announced that it had named Ganguli a runner up at the inaugural 'Esquire Man at the Top Awards' under the category 'Young Entrepreneur of the Year'. Esquire reported that Ganguli's work was proof that entrepreneurial skill can work as well for art as for commerce. In November 2010 and 2011, Ganguli was selected as one of the 1000 most influential figures in London by the Evening Standard.[16]

In March 2011, Ganguli said with regard to the festivals he puts on: “It’s not a job. It’s my life. It’s what I dream about and have nightmares about.” The principal source of income for his festivals is sponsorship, which he says is “never easy to get and requires a lot of hard work”. He does not pay the speakers at his festivals: “It’s like giving a fee to someone for attending the Oscars."[17]

Media

Much attention has been paid to Ganguli's image, appearance and personal style [18] by the international media, the British in particular.[19] They continue to paint his profile as an alluring, exotic and enigmatic figure. The editor of the Spectator wrote in his magazine diary[20] that Ganguli reminded him of a cross between Oscar Wilde and Malcolm McLaren while James Collard of The Saturday Times Magazine[21] reported that Pablo Ganguli was a wunderkind and a mystery. He went on to add 'Or even, as Winston Churchill said in an altogether different context, a riddle wrapped in a mysery inside an enigma.' Words including rare, flamboyant, legendary and fascinating have been used to describe Ganguli.

Ventures

Papua New Guinea

In 2001, Ganguli created Connect UK, a Papua New Guinea based organisation,[22] whose stated purpose was to forge cultural ties between the South Pacific and Britain.[12] In November 2002, the British High Commission and Connect UK jointly put on the first 'British Week' in that country, 'a celebration of British arts, culture, design, education and science and technology'.[23] Festival participants included Janet Street-Porter and Benjamin Zephaniah.[13]

Ganguli directed the first Women's Rights Conference in Papua New Guinea supported by the PNG, Australian, United States and British governments. Baroness Valerie Amos, the then British Secretary of State for International Development sent a message of good wishes for the conference.[24] The British Council and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office supported the work of Ganguli in Papua New Guinea. Connect UK organised events promoting human rights, youth issues and Aids awareness projects.

The cultural programme of Connect UK consisted of piano recitals by Peter Donohoe, mime events by a British artist, science exhibitions designed by the British Council and international film festivals. Ganguli directed three annual international film festivals in different parts of the country. Ganguli directed the first Britain-South Pacific Museum management project. The two UK experts who visited the region to conduct the courses were from the Victoria and Albert Museum and City University.[24]

Morocco

Between 2003 and 2006, Ganguli spent part of his time in Morocco.[25][26][27] Ganguli was head of public relations and events at Kasbah Agafay and Kssour Agafay,[28] a private member's club and luxury hotel in Marrakech.[29] Tim Willis in The London Evening Standard on 5 January 2010 reported of Ganguli's deportation from Morocco in 2005 thus: "when, returning from a trip to India in 2005, he learnt that his ex had been expelled from Morocco and that he had 48 hours to leave the country. “I was never given a reason,” he says. Ganguli moved into a house owned by Scaddan (his ex lover) in Edinburgh".

Britain and Festivals by Ganguli

Beginning in 2005, Ganguli started creating and directing festivals in different parts of the world. Ganguli is based in Britain.

North Africa

Arts in Marrakech Festival

The Arts in Marrakech International Festival, a festival of English and Arabic art and literature, was held in Morocco from 29 September to 3 October 2005,[30] and was preceded by Scottish Week Marrakesh, 21–28 September, also organised by Ganguli.[31] The festival included two art exhibitions, one of Moroccan art and one of contemporary British art, under the aegis of Vanessa Branson, sister of tycoon Richard Branson; interviews; readings; and panel discussions on Anglo-Arabic literature.

Those participating included singer Annie Lennox, sculptor Antony Gormley, author Hari Kunzru, writer Deborah Moggach, playwright Hanif Kureishi, artistic director Ekow Eshun and novelist Esther Freud.[32][33] Other guests included Saadi Youssef and Richard Branson.[34]

India

Kitab New Delhi

Kitab, sponsored by the Hindustan Times, with The Times (UK) as its English media partner, was held at the India Habitat Centre in south Delhi, India,[35] 7–9 April 2006.[26] It was India's first international literary festival.[36] Speakers included actress Goldie Hawn, member of the British Parliament Clare Short, historian William Dalrymple,[36] writer Nadeem Aslam,[26] UN Under-Secretary General Shashi Tharoor and journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.[37]

The festival programme consisted of discussions on subjects such as Globalisation, the writer and the nation; Women's writing: what is it and do women want it?; Media Culpa: Does the media fail literature in the UK and India? Debates, book readings, Q&A sessions and lectures were also held. The most entertaining debate was on the subject 'Humanity, fallibility and truth in contemporary politics' Vir Sanghvi chaired the debate with Clare Short, Rory Stewart and Shashi Tharoor.

Kitab Mumbai

The second Kitab was held in Mumbai, India, February 23–36, 2007.[38][39] Ganguli said the festival was going to be 'Bollywood meets International Literature'. Participants included Shekhar Kapur, Philip Hensher, Jackie Kay, and Geoff Dyer.[40]

Several organizers of the festival said in February 2008 that Ganguli stilled owed them money, had provided them incorrect information, and had a bias for British participants rather than Indian ones.[41][42] Ganguli denied all accusations, saying that the local organizers were supposed to raise money from sponsors, but did not, and that they had invited Indian authors from outside Mumbai, against Ganguli's wishes, despite there being no funds for their expenses.[43]

Kitab Mumbai 2008

The third Kitab was again held in Mumbai, from 22–24 February 2008. Guests were to include M.J. Hyland, Indra Sinha, Sarfraz Manzoor, Christine Jordis, Sonia Faleiro, Dilip Chitre, Robert Graham Irwin and Matthew d'Ancona. Some of the bigger names — like Salman Rushdie — were missing from the list. Ganguli said before the festival began that "I think audiences want to encounter niche names. Last year we had over 100 personalities from various cultural domains and this time there are just 30. But we are sure the festival is going to be as enlightening as ever."[44]

Twelve high-profile authors, including Amit Chaudhuri, the president of the 2007 Kitab, signed a letter in support of the protests regarding the 2007 festival. Writers who attended and spoke included Indra Sinha, Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan and John P Matthew. Sponsors who withdrew at the last minute including media partners the Times (UK) and Vogue India. "I don't know what will happen next year," said Ganguli.[43]

China

Liberatum Hong Kong

Asia Tatler and the Wall Street Journal announced that Ganguli would present Liberatum in Hong Kong in 2012.[45] Participants include Pharrell Williams, Rossy de Palma, Paul Schrader, Thomas Heatherwick, Daniel Wu and Khalil Fong.[46] Vogue China editor in chief said it was one of the very few free cultural events open to the public. The event was reportedly a wild ride with Pharrell Williams as the headliner.[47]

Arab World

Majestic Petra

The Majestic Petra Festival was originally scheduled to be held in December 2006 in Petra, Jordan. Ganguli postponed the festival in October, citing 'security concerns'.[48] In mid-December 2006 it was reported that the festival's location had changed to Dubai.[49] But the festival is now rescheduled to be held in Jordan in June 2008; Ganguli is working on organising another British-Arab International festival in Dubai called the BAI Dubai International Arts and Literary Festival.

Among the numerous confirmed speakers for the Petra festival are authors Hanan al-Shaykh, Martin Amis, VS Naipaul, Vikram Seth and Mariella Frostrup.[50] Petra is still under production and will be held sometime in 2010.

Russia

Jewel of Russia

An international festival of arts, literature and music [21] called "Jewel of Russia" was held in St Petersburg from 27–31 October 2007.

Participants of the Jewel of Russia festival discussed, debated and reflected upon subjects relating to arts, media, fashion, music, literature and freedom of speech.[51] The broadcaster Jon Snow also took part in the programme. One of the festival venues was the Hermitage Museum.[52]

Lufthansa was the title sponsor of the festival, therefore the name of the festival was Lufthansa Jewel of Russia. The music programme of the festival was directed by Alexander Zeldin. Opera and concerts were performed at the Mariinsky Theatre. Thomas Ades, Valery Gergiev and Peter Donohoe conducted and performed.

AngloMockBa

According to the Liberatum website, Ganguli's most recent venture (1–3 May 2009) was a festival of British-Russian arts, fashion, film, media, music and literature called AngloMockBa.
