The village of Alsisar has welcomed us with open arms since 2013.
Magnetic Fields festival has been deeply connected with the village of Alsisar since 2013, thanks to the community's warm hospitality. To give back, the festival introduced a compulsory guestlist donation, with proceeds supporting local needs. In 2019, the funds were used to improve medical infrastructure in Alsisar, addressing a critical gap by providing essential healthcare equipment and conducting awareness camps.
When COVID-19 lockdowns hit, the festival redirected its efforts to distribute ration packs to vulnerable families, including those below the poverty line and widows. The festival's approach was praised for its indiscriminate support, providing aid without embarrassment or bias.
Looking ahead, Magnetic Fields is focusing on long-term educational support for Shree JK Govt. School Alsisar, which serves low-income students. Plans include building new furniture, supplying annual stationery, enhancing technological infrastructure, and implementing a creative residency program. This initiative aims to inspire and empower students through collaborations with creative practitioners, starting with music workshops this year.
The mandatory guestlist donation for the 2024 edition is Rs 3,500, continuing to support these valuable community initiatives.
