Visages, the flagship inter-collegiate fest of St. Joseph's University, is a grand celebration where culture and academia unite in a spectacular showcase of talent, creativity, and camaraderie. Featuring around 30 vibrant events and activities, Visages is more than a competition—it’s a transformative journey of self-expression, discovery, and growth. It is a stage where students from diverse institutions come together to inspire, excel, and leave their mark. At Visages, we believe in the power of creating opportunities and breaking boundaries.
This year, Visages invites you to embrace the soul of the Silicon City and embark on a nostalgic journey through "Namma Bengaluru", transforming our campus into a vibrant tribute to the city we call home. From the early morning aroma of filter kaapi and the lush greenery of Cubbon Park to the electric pulse of Church Street and the grandeur of Vidhana Soudha, experience the unique blend of tradition and modernity that defines our Ooru. It’s a celebration of the darshinis, the start-ups, the art, and the warmth of the people. So, come soak in the spirit of the Garden City—where history meets the future, and every corner tells a story!
