Jan 14-18, 2015: The Story of Light Festival (SOL)
has been conceptualized by a group of scientists,
artists and educators who believe that science and
philosophy need a common ground. The universe is a
magical place and its truest stories should no
longer remain hidden behind equations and
intimidating dialogues. We want to take the
conversation to the general public through art and
design. And we plan to do this by telling the
oldest story in the universe -- The Story of Light
-- from 14 to 18 Jan 2015 in Panjim city, Goa, an
ode to The International Year of Light!
