Reading the city : Memory & Dreams |Salman B Baba

The workshop explored the different perspectives of a city and how we can understand the idea of a city through our memory. Some questions that we will have for the discussions will be What is the city and how do we understand it? How can we perceive the city through our sensorial fields and What constitutes this sensorial matrix of the city? How does place-making takes place and to what extent does our perceptions shape the city? What are the interchanges, engagements, associations and memories, experiences of a city and what do we interpret of it? Can the city be read and what kind of readings do emerge out of it? We will focus on these multiple questions through different lenses and perspectives.

Bodies in Action |Khursheed Ahmad

The workshop explored the means of articulating everyday encounters in regional and local expressions. It explored the possibilities of finding a language, an apparatus through which day to day acts, actions and movements could possibly be examined and a nuanced dialogue could be generated in/with our immediate social environment. The intention was to create a discursive sphere where participants coming from different artistic, social and practice backgrounds address the issue at hand through various means of creative and academic expressions. The workshop was not goal oriented and did not seek a finitude but tests some more permutations and combinations of student expressions which can be questioned, discussed, deliberated and performed further. Khursheed Ahmad brought anecdotes from his own practise.
