From a modest initiative in 2016 to a cultural movement, Impressions has blossomed into one of India’s most dynamic celebrations of artistic expression. This December, COEP Technological University proudly presents the 10th Edition of its annual cultural festival, embracing the theme ‘मिरास (Miraas): Woven With Time’. Guided by the motto “By the artist, For the artist,” the fest returns as a sanctuary where creative freedom thrives.
The road to the tenth edition included the launch of the kalaCrew community, a collaboration with TicTac India, immersive Garba and Ganpati workshops, and an Under25 Summit featuring Ahsaas Channa and Ayushman Chaudhary. Recently, the ‘Muskaan’ welfare initiative supported children at Sparsh Shelter Home, proving art is a vehicle for kindness.
Impressions ’25 transforms the campus into an arena of talent with over 25 competitions across six diverse modules:
