At Fireflies festival 2008 in Bangalore
Shabnam Virmani is a documentary filmmaker and artist in residence at the Srishti School of Art, Design, and Technology in Bangalore since 2002. Co-founder of the Drishti Media Arts and Human Rights collective, she has directed several documentaries, some of which have won awards. In 2002, she co-directed an award-winning community radio program with the Kutch Mahila Vikas Sangathan in Gujarat.
Kabira Khada Bazaar Mein, a documentary film by Shabnam Virmani on the poet-saint as part of her Kabir Project, has won the Special Jury Prize at the 58th National Awards, June 2011.
She was conferred this award for, "An insightful film that introduces us to the various cults that have grown around Kabir, the mystic weaver, and saint. It explores the nuances of India's argumentative tradition as exemplified by Kabir's dohas and traces the eventful journey of one man caught in an Orwellian dilemma as he is elevated to the status of a cult leader, torn between the inevitable trappings of hierarchy that run paradoxical to the simple philosophy of Kabir".

Fireflies Dusk To Dawn Music Festival
If I have, to sum up, the festival in a few words, it would be that it is not every day that you get to hear such diverse and deep music. There are musicians who create music, who have devoted themselves to music. Who is keeping a lot of traditional music alive? And others who are a lot of new age experimental music. It’s the music that can keep you wide awake through the night. And makes you resonate with nature that is spread wide around you in the space.
Kabir Songs – My favorite
My most favorite performance was by Shabnam Virmani and Dipta Bhog, who sang the songs of Kabir in traditional Malwa style. Shabnam was enchanting and was equally well supported by Dipta. She explained the verses of Kabir in simple English before she sang each piece. And then both of them sang with such ease. I was amazed at the way they were able to bring every emotion in their voice. The simplicity of their folk singing actually made a huge connect with the audience. Even those who did not understand the language. Somewhere saying that we are all simply human beings at the core. And somewhere along the line, we have complicated ourselves.
