Kyoorius Designyatra 2017 returned to The Grand Hyatt in Goa from 12 to 14 October 2017.
Optimism
We might not be able to solve everything, but we can surely try to solve something. Times are tough and the world is a mess, but what about all those dreams of propelling towards a future that could exist? Have you tried to spread optimism through your work recently? As Kyoorius Designyatra enters its 12th year, we want to open the stage to stories of hope for a better world. The days seem to get heavier with problems, but each of those knots can come undone with optimism. As we hope for a better tomorrow, let us pause and take a moment to celebrate creativity and seek for more.
