DESCRIPTION:PREVIEW NIGHT \nWe are delighted to invite you to the preview night of ‘My Many Worlds: A Santosh Morajkar Retrospective’\, a celebration of the life and work of one of Goa’s beloved artists. \nSantosh Morajkar’s work moved freely between imagination\, mythology\, animals\, people\, and the everyday.

SUMMARY:Onam: A Community Table
DESCRIPTION:Onam is a festival of sharing\, cooking\, eating\, and making space for one another. \nThis year\, the Museum of Goa team is coming together to celebrate Onam in that spirit. We’re preparing a sadhya ourselves and inviting you to join us at the table. This is a community gathering\, prepared and hosted by the MOG team\, where food becomes a way of coming together. \nThe sadhya brings together the many dishes traditionally associated with an Onam feast\, prepared collectively by members of our team. Each person brings their own familiarity with the food\, memories of cooking\, and ways of preparing the sadhya. The emphasis is less on the meal as a gastronomic experience and more on what happens when people sit down together to eat. \nThe meal will be accompanied by a short storytelling session\, offering a glimpse into the stories\, traditions\, and memories surrounding Onam. It is an opportunity to think about how festivals travel with people\, how food carries memory\, and how communities keep traditions alive by sharing them. \nAt its heart\, this is simply an invitation to gather. Come sit at the community table\, eat a meal prepared by the MOG team\, listen to a few stories\, and celebrate Onam with us. \nDates: 29 & 30 August 2026 \nTime slots: 12:30–1:30 PM | 1:45–2:45 PM \nContribution: ₹550 per person \nVenue: Museum of Goa \nLimited seats | Register now at +91 77220 89666 \n

SUMMARY:A Voyage to Permanence
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating visual poetry \nThe Museum of Goa (MOG) presents A Voyage to Permanence\, a three-day exhibition celebrating the visual language of independent filmmaker Purandar Chaudhuri. Bringing together experimental cinema\, photography\, sound\, and visual essays\, the exhibition offers audiences an opportunity to engage with cinema beyond the screen\, where moving images become spaces for contemplation and visual poetry. \nThe project was conceived by Jooby Yohannan\, a well-known curator from Bangalore\, & Curated by renowned art critic and curator Johny ML\, with exhibition visuals by Prakash Braggs. A Voyage to Permanence revolves around three of Chaudhuri’s seminal experimental films: Impressions of Mingling\, Tremors\, and Dhushor. Together\, these works investigate themes of migration\, labour\, impermanence and the human condition\, inviting viewers into an immersive landscape where abstraction and lived experience intersect. \nRather than documenting social realities in a conventional sense\, Chaudhuri’s films employ monochromatic imagery\, sparse dialogue\, and a fluid interplay between still and moving images to evoke the emotional and philosophical dimensions of existence. His cinematic practice resists linear storytelling\, offering meditative reflections on displacement\, collective memory\, and the fragile continuity between past and present. \nThe exhibition programme unfolds over three days: \n\n12 August: Continuous screening of Impressions of Mingling alongside the exhibition of photographic works and alternative prints.\n13 August: Continuous screening of Tremors within the exhibition space.\n14 August: A special evening screening of Dhushor in the Museum auditorium\, followed by an audience interaction with members of the creative team.\n\nThe exhibition will also mark the launch of the Goa Cyanotype Notebook\, celebrating alternative photographic processes and image-making traditions. \nA conversation will accompany the release of the photobook and screening\, featuring Jayanth Kodkani\, a well-known journalist and writer who has deep interests in Cinema & Literature\, and Nemiraj Shetty\, visual artist\, curator\, and one of the founding members of the INTACH Mangalore chapter.  \n

DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to invite you all to the preview night of ‘Mangoes & Meanings: Histories\, Ecologies\, and Cultural Imagination’. \nThis exhibition approaches the mango not just as a species\, but as a system: biological\, historical\, and cultural.

SUMMARY:Refuge\, Resilience\, and Rights: The Tibetan Story
DESCRIPTION:Nations speak not only through declarations and borders\, but through the everyday instruments of governance—currency\, passports\, postal systems\, treaties\, stamps\, flags\, and laws. Before the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950\, Tibet functioned as a sovereign state\, exercising authority over its territory\, people\, and foreign relations. This exhibition brings together archival records\, artifacts\, photographs\, and personal collections to present material evidence of Tibet’s independent existence in the modern world. Through lived experience and tangible proof\, it invites visitors to consider how a nation persists—politically\, culturally\, and spiritually—despite displacement. \n  \n \nFollowing the Chinese military occupation of Tibet in the 1950s\, tens of thousands of Tibetans fled into exile\, forming communities across India and beyond. Exile reshaped Tibetan life but did not erase identity. This exhibition situates these histories within the broader Tibetan self-determination movement\, tracing how sovereignty\, memory\, and cultural continuity remain deeply intertwined.  \nRather than relying on rhetoric\, the exhibition allows historical objects to speak of a nation that once governed itself. \nPhotos from ‘Exile: A Photo Journal 1959 – 1989’ compiled and edited by Lobsang Gyatso Sither\, published by Tibet Documentation \nCo-curated by Museum of Goa & The Tibet Museum\, presented as a part of The Infinite Ripple – 90 Years of Compassion.  \nThis exhibition is supported by The Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness The Dalai Lama and the Vimson Shivanand Salgaocar Group.

SUMMARY:Mangoes and Meaning - OPEN CALL
DESCRIPTION:Concept\nThe exhibition takes as its starting point the mango—India’s national fruit and one of its most enduring cultural symbols. Cultivated on the subcontinent for nearly 5\,000 years\, the mango is more than a fruit: it is embedded in mythology\, ritual\, art\, and literature. In classical narratives\, it appears in the realm of love and devotion\, from Kama\, the god of love\, whose arrows were tipped with mango blossoms\, to Lord Ganesha\, who is believed to have received it as a divine gift. During Portuguese rule\, the fruit travelled across continents through colonial trade\, acquiring a global presence. \nToday\, India alone is home to over 1\,500 varieties\, each marked by its own distinctive story of naming\, cultivation\, and cultural association. By tracing these histories and imaginations\, the exhibition positions the mango as a fruit of many worlds—ecological\, historical\, and symbolic. \nThe exhibition will bring together paintings\, sculptures\, music\, food traditions\, and video works connected with the mango. \nWho can apply:\n– Entries are open to all.\n– You do not need to have any formal training in art. We welcome anyone interested in art and creating.\n– Accepting submissions of sculptures\, paintings\, photographs\, digital prints\, video art\, and installation art. \nApplication deadline: 20th March 2026!\nFor more information\, check out our Artist Handbook\n\n\n\nAPPLY NOW

DESCRIPTION:The open call invites artistic responses that explore the intersections of Goa’s people\, landscape\, cultural practices\, environment\, and memory. The collection brings together paintings\, sculptures\, installations\, and mixed-media works that reflect on Goa not as a static historical site\, but as a living\, growing cultural landscape shaped by layered histories and present-day realities. \nAt the Museum of Goa (MOG)\, we understand Goa as a place of multiple\, overlapping histories\, formed through centuries of exchange\, movement\, influence\, and adaptation. Goa’s identity is neither singular nor fixed; it is one of mixture and continuity. This hybridity is visible in everyday life: in the languages spoken\, the architecture and domestic spaces inhabited\, the clothes worn\, the rituals practised\, and the food consumed. These elements are not relics of the past\, but active expressions of how history continues to shape contemporary Goan life. \nMOG’s curatorial approach foregrounds objects\, spaces\, and narratives that are deeply rooted in Goa’s local context. From the layered surfaces of Goan houses\, where coats of paint reveal stories of time\, migration\, and material exchange\, to traces of Portuguese maritime journeys and the cultural forms they introduced\, the Museum examines how global histories become integral to local environments. These histories are read not only through monumental events\, but through intimate\, everyday objects and instances that remain uniquely Goan. \nThis open call encourages artists to engage with Goa’s past while critically reflecting on how these histories persist\, transform\, and resurface in the present. The works selected will collectively consider how memory\, environment\, and cultural inheritance continue to influence contemporary identities in Goa\, positioning the Museum as a space where history and the present moment remain in constant dialogue. \nWho can apply:\n– Applications are open to anybody interested in creating.\n– You do not need to have any formal training in art.\n– Accepting submissions of sculptures\, paintings\, digital prints\, video art\, and installation art. \nAPPLY NOW

SUMMARY:Step Into The Sea
DESCRIPTION:Step into the Sea\, a multidisciplinary immersive installation by The Good Ocean and Jolchhobi\, is coming to the Museum of Goa from 24th to 30th January. \nWorld-renowned guitarist Susmit Sen\, former lead guitarist and founder of Indian Ocean\, will open Step into the Sea on 24th January with a journey beneath the surface. He will perform a live solo set of his cherished compositions\, along with improvisations inspired by marine ecosystems. \nUnknown to many\, India is home to over 800 species of seaweed. Along Goa’s coast\, Sargassum forests form dense underwater canopies from November to March. These rich\, biodiverse spaces support marine life but remain largely unseen and understudied. Through this immersive experience\, visitors step into a room that feels like swimming through a seaweed forest along the Goan coastline—an unfamiliar yet vital ecosystem. \nOnly 10 early bird tickets available for the opening night! \nTickets
