Voices of Dissent: A life without Art is meaningless by Ramu Ramanathan
"Since the times of Socrates-Plato, Bhasa-Kalidasa, Gandhi-Ambedkar, why have ideas been considered dangerous?" - Ramu Ramanathan.
What do we mean by the phrase 'living in a democracy'? What is the role of the arts in this? Is the India we live in a healthy democracy? What histories have led us up to this moment? And what happens to artists who are determined to speak up and use the arts as a voice for people? Ramu Ramanathan will explore the relationship between art, dissent and a healthy democracy. Drawing on live examples of a variety of arts activism - singers and poets, literary activism, theatre - he will share with us the living practice of the arts speaking up, why it matters, and how it gives voice and visibility to communities that may otherwise remain unnoticed.

Connecting Art And Its Audiences: A Glimpse Into The Curator's Practice by Ranjit Hoskote
Art invites you to explore wonderful spaces of the imagination, to embark on journeys of creativity. And once you're inside these spaces, you find yourself surrounded by images, stories and ideas of all shapes, sizes and colours. Displacing them from conventional perspectives renews its magic for us. Sharing art with an audience through the medium of the exhibition brings it into the field of social response and expression.

Art as ishq, internet as art by Paromita Vohra
What can't you find on the Internet? Everything you need to know seems to be only a click away. The Internet is a limitless space, they say. With limitless possibilities.
What happens when art begins to explore these possibilities? Does 'digital' remain only a space to showcase work? Or does it become a way of thinking? An enabler to create and play with new forms of art?


Sunday, 8 May from 5:00 to 6:30 pm at Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum

His session will be peppered with delightful stories and anecdotes from his own childhood and experiences in theatre.

A Bedtime Story To Wake You Up by Kiran Nagarkar
When we pick up the newspaper today or watch the news on TV what do we see? Stories that shake us, stories of violence and intolerance, stories that often make it hard for us to keep believing that the world is a good place. And what do we do? More often than not, we will shake our heads, turn the page or switch the channel.

When will we realise that this is relevant to us? That we are all a part of the world we have created around us? When will we understand that each one of us is responsible for anything that happens anywhere in the world - whether it's in our backyards, or in Iran or even in the USA?


Renowned novelist, playwright and critic, Kiran Nagarkar, meets us with these questions and more.
