SUMMARY:My Many Worlds: A Santosh Morajkar Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:My Many Worlds: A Santosh Morajkar Retrospective\nMy Many Worlds: A Santosh Morajkar Retrospective brings together works by artist Santosh Morajkar\, created between 1997 and 2025 and drawn from private and public collections. Presented at the Museum of Goa\, the exhibition brings together works from across his artistic journey\, offering an opportunity to encounter his practice as a whole and to consider the many ideas\, influences and experiences that shaped his distinctive visual language. \nSantosh moved between printmaking\, drawing and sculpture throughout his practice\, but did not treat these as separate artistic identities. The same visual language continued to evolve across mediums\, as he drew on prints and sculptures\, combined prints with drawings\, and transformed his own works into collages. For Santosh\, the medium was a means of continuing to explore and develop the ideas that remained central to his practice. Bringing these works together makes visible the continuities\, shifts and recurring concerns that run across nearly three decades of his work. \nHis practice was deeply rooted in the world around him while extending into an imaginative universe of his own. Familiar figures\, animals\, objects and memories were repeatedly transformed into unexpected forms. Human-animal hybrids\, references to mythology and folk traditions\, memories of Goa\, motorcycles\, eroticism and observations from everyday life appear throughout his work. These elements often come together in ways that are playful\, strange\, humorous and deeply personal. As Santosh described his works\, they were extensions of himself – expressions of his memories\, imagination\, desires and way of seeing. \nMuch of this body of work is now dispersed across collections\, making the opportunity to bring it together particularly significant. The retrospective allows audiences to look beyond individual works and understand the relationships between them\, while placing Santosh’s practice within the wider artistic and cultural context of Goa. It is also an important act of documentation: a way of ensuring that an artist’s work remains visible\, available for inquiry and open to continued engagement beyond his lifetime. \nFor the Museum of Goa\, My Many Worlds forms part of our commitment to making art accessible and creating opportunities for artists and their practices to be encountered\, studied and remembered. More than a retrospective\, the exhibition is an invitation to look closely at Santosh Morajkar’s many worlds and to discover the connections between his life\, his surroundings and the body of work he created. \n17 October – 15 November 2026\nMuseum of Goa\, Pilerne Industrial Estate \nFeaturing works from the collections of\n \nAloo Gomes Pereira\nCezar Pinto\nChaitali Morajkar\nGautam S.

SUMMARY:Where Salt Meets Sweet | Fish Curry and Rice
DESCRIPTION:Where freshwater meets the sea\, mangroves create ecosystems that support a wide range of life. They protect coastlines\, provide habitats for fish and other species\, and are closely connected to the lives and livelihoods of communities along Goa’s rivers and coast. Yet their importance is often noticed most when these ecosystems are threatened or lost. \nThe fifth chapter of the Goa Foundation series\, Fish Curry & Rice\, is titled Where Salt Meets Sweet\, and begins with a conversation with Claude Alvares and Aaron Lobo on mangroves and the many relationships they hold between land\, water\, people and other forms of life. The conversation will look at mangroves not simply as vegetation\, but as living ecosystems that are part of Goa’s ecological and social landscape. \nTogether\, they will explore what these ecosystems sustain\, what is at stake when they are altered or destroyed\, and what it means to understand Goa’s rivers\, wetlands and coastlines as interconnected systems rather than separate spaces. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Goa’s First Constitution? 500 Years of the Foral of 1526
DESCRIPTION:On 16 September 1526\, the Foral of Afonso Mexia was issued under King João III of Portugal. Consisting of 49 clauses\, the charter codified customary practices relating to land\, taxation\, succession\, revenue and village administration across 31 villages of Goa’s islands. Significantly\, it recognised and regulated the customary rights of Goa’s hereditary village landholders\, the gaunkars\, incorporating an existing system of collective village organisation into the legal and fiscal framework of the Portuguese Crown. \nFive hundred years later\, what can the Foral tell us about Goa’s history of land\, governance\, community and power? And can a charter created within the circumstances of early colonial rule be described as Goa’s “first constitution”? \nThe Museum of Goa hosts Prof. Sushila Sawant Mendes\, historian and author of Luis de Menezes Bragança: Nationalism\, Secularism and Free Thought in Portuguese Goa; Prof. Remy Dias\, historian whose doctoral research examined the socio-economic history of Goa’s comunidade system; and Rev. Dr. Jason Keith Fernandes\, scholar and author of Citizenship in a Caste Polity: Religion\, Language and Belonging in Goa\, for a conversation examining the Foral\, its historical context and its continuing significance. \nThe discussion marks the publication of The First Constitution of Goa: The Foral of 1526\, a commemorative hardcover edition featuring a new translation of the charter alongside commentary tracing five centuries of interpretation and debate. \nThe gold-foiled edition\, presented in a matching slipcase\, is limited to 500 copies\, one for each year since 1526\, and will be available at the venue. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666
