Our annual publication
The IPTA Kolkata E-Magazine
Each year the e-magazine gathers critical essays, playscripts, poetry, and cultural commentary from across our Kolkata branches. It keeps the living work of theatre, folk music, and street plays in readable form.
Every edition is shaped around the themes our members are working on that year, giving the publication a clear and lasting place in the association's cultural record.

Who makes it
The editorial collective
The editorial collective is drawn from IPTA Kolkata's branches and oversees the annual publication's standards from call for submissions through to final print and digital release.
Contributors include practising theatre artists, folk musicians, and writers who document the association's work, keeping the publication rooted in local practice.
Responsibilities are shared between selection, editing, and layout, so each edition maintains literary continuity while reflecting the year's work.
The collective welcomes submissions that document branch activity and cultural research.
