The fifth Kritya 2010 Festival will concentrate on the poetry of exile, trauma and survival. The known poets of exile all around the world have expressed exile in different individual terms. The poetry of exile, here, as a concept has been stretched to include voluntary and involuntary exile not only from one's land and life but emotional, spiritual, political, social, cultural, economic and similar contexts of the term. This would, therefore necessarily include diasporic poetry. Politically exiled poets experience acute trauma in terms of being politically uprooted from a motherl.

Kritya invites poets of repute and aspirants to participate in the programme.

Kritya's engagement with arts and the aesthetic experience through poetry and allied art forms has always manifest itself in the blending of the visual and the poetic. On the occasion an Art Exhibition and film exhibition  has been envisaged. Kritya will afford a forum for art lovers the world over to witness a visual extravaganza through the works of upcoming Indian artists. The art exhibition will open simultaneously along with the poetry festival.  Kritya and the and will be open to the public on all days of the festival.
