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:Trust Me\, It’s a Forward! | Strategy Game
DESCRIPTION:How do we decide what to trust when information is constantly moving around us? Trust Me\, It’s a Forward! is a tabletop role-playing game about digital mis/disinformation\, developed in 2023–24. Instead of simply asking players to identify what is true or false\, the game puts them inside an information environment where trust can be built and broken\, doubt can enter the picture\, and choices have consequences. \nIn this presentation\, Karen explores the thinking behind the making of the game and the questions that shaped it. What happens when we do not simply read\, scroll past\, or fact-check mis/disinformation\, but step into it and play with it? What might play allow us to notice that an article or fact-check cannot? And what can a fantastical yet familiar dystopia reveal about the ways we make choices and relate to people we may never have met? \nThe session also looks at the conversations and unexpected reflections that emerged through the process of creating the game. At its heart is a question about how we can create spaces to think\, question\, and challenge the information environments we inhabit and make sense of them together. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:From the Ground Up: A Gandhian Journey through Development
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to work on poverty and development from the ground up? In the late 1970s\, Frances and Sanjay Sinha were young graduates looking for ways to engage with the social and economic challenges facing India. Influenced by Gandhian principles and the belief that development needed to begin with an understanding of people’s lived realities\, they began working with NGOs and researchers closely engaged with communities. \nTheir work began in the years following the Emergency and the election of the Janata Party government in 1977\, at a time when Gandhian ideas were being revisited and debated in India. Over the decades that followed\, their work took them through research\, programme development and microfinance\, bringing them into sustained engagement with questions of poverty\, livelihoods and socio-economic development. \nIn this session\, Frances and Sanjay will reflect on the principles that shaped their approach to development\, the people and institutions they encountered along the way\, and what they have learnt from decades of working across research\, development and microfinance. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Still there are Seeds to be Gathered\, and Room in the Bag of Stars
DESCRIPTION:As Ursula Le Guin wrote\, ‘Prior to the preeminence of sticks\, swords and the Hero’s killing tools\, our ancestors’ greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats\, the medicine bundle\, the net made of your own hair\, the home\, the shrine\, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient\, the holder\, the story. The bag of stars.’ \nMilann Tress John is a writer-director and cinematographer whose body of work explores the themes of transgender rights\, ethnomusicology\, Indian craft processes\, indigenous folk art practices\, and river ecosystems across India.

SUMMARY:Can Sustainability Be for Everyone?
DESCRIPTION:We have the technology to build a cleaner future. But can everyone afford to be part of it? For millions\, the barriers to clean energy and electric mobility are the everyday realities of cost\, credit\, and access. \nThis conversation looks at what happens when sustainability is designed around people: when solar energy can be leased instead of bought\, when an electric vehicle can become a livelihood without a large upfront investment\, and when clean energy can help a gig worker keep more of what they earn. \nFrom solar-powered homes to electric mobility\, from Goa to Mizoram\, we explore how new models of financing can make sustainability more inclusive and how environmental action can go hand in hand with stronger livelihoods and greater economic independence.  \nA conversation about building a future that doesn’t just work for the planet\, but works for people too. With Jupp Schmitt\, CFO\, Enervoir\, and Ashish Malayil\, CEO\, Livaah. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Invisible Work\, Visible Heat
DESCRIPTION:Extreme heat is pictured as an outdoor problem – a construction site\, a crowded street. But turn a thermal camera on a home\, and the story changes. In Making the ‘Invisible’ Visible\, an audio-visual feature that uses thermal imaging to reveal how tin roofs\, concrete buildings\, cramped kitchens\, and poor ventilation trap heat inside the homes – turning everyday chores into hours of endurance.

SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion: Kood
DESCRIPTION:At the edge of the city stands a bridge that people rarely visit by accident. It is a place marked by silence\, where those carrying unbearable grief often arrive believing there is nowhere else left to go. One winter morning\, two strangers find themselves there\, each having made the private decision to end their life. They do not know each other\, and neither comes seeking comfort or companionship. Yet\, in a fleeting\, almost ordinary moment\, their lives become intertwined when one of them jumps. \nDirected by Neelesh Misra and written by Anulata Raj Nair\, *Kood* is a deeply moving meditation on despair\, chance\, and the quiet possibility of hope. Rather than treating its subject with spectacle\, the film lingers in the fragile spaces between strangers\, asking how a single human encounter can alter the course of a life. It reflects on loneliness not as an isolated condition\, but as something that can be interrupted by empathy\, however unexpected it may be. With remarkable restraint and emotional honesty\, *Kood* reminds us that even at the edge of giving up\, connection can emerge in the most unforeseen ways. It is a poignant exploration of survival\, compassion\, and the extraordinary weight of a moment that changes everything. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion – Ancessao
DESCRIPTION:Ancessao\, written and directed by Manguirish Jagdish Bandodkar\, is a moving portrait of an elderly Goan woman living in isolation.

SUMMARY:A Sacred Place: Documentary film screening and discussion
DESCRIPTION:This concluding MOG Sunday for June presents a screening of A Sacred Place (2026)\, followed by a conversation between anthropologist and filmmaker Dolly Kikon and journalist Chitrangada Choudhury. \nSet in Makhel\, a Mao Naga village in northern Manipur\, the film explores the intertwined relationships between land\, memory\, spirituality\, and ecology. Through oral histories\, visual ethnography\, and geological storytelling\, A Sacred Place traces the lives of intergenerational storytellers and the sacred salt springs and sandstone monoliths that shape the cosmology and history of the region. \nMakhel—meaning “a sacred place” in the Mao Naga language—becomes the site through which the film asks urgent contemporary questions: can sacredness survive amid ecocide and relentless development? How do Indigenous knowledge systems understand stewardship\, kinship\, and coexistence with the more-than-human world? \nPart of the Lithic Worlds research engagement\, the film foregrounds Indigenous pedagogy and community histories while reflecting on the environmental futures of fragile landscapes. The post-screening conversation will expand on these themes through discussions on storytelling\, ecology\, and belonging in Northeast India. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us at MOG Sundays amidst films and conversation that bring us closer to Goa’s wetlands\, mangroves\, and the many lives they sustain. We begin with ‘Kharvan’\, a film that explores the fragile Khazan ecosystems of Goa and the coexistence between smooth-coated otters\, local communities\, and a landscape shaped over centuries. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the filmmakers Payal Kakkar\, Nitya Navelkar and Doel Trivedy\, reflecting on ecology\, storytelling\, conservation\, and the futures we imagine for these environments. \nThe session concludes with ‘Requiem of a Mangrove Forest’\, an award-winning documentary that traces the gradual destruction of Goa’s mangrove forests through haunting and poetic imagery. This documentary chronicles the subsequent death of two mangrove forests at Merces and Corlim in Goa\, over a period of four years (2021-2024)\, attributing the destruction to climate change\, salinity shifts\, dam flooding\, and illegal waste disposal. The narrative adopts a unique “non-human” perspective\, viewing the forest as a collective entity connected by its root and mycelial network\, which is tragically severed by its death. \nTogether\, the films invite us to think about our relationship with the natural world\, the stories embedded within these ecosystems\, and the urgent need to care for them. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Holding Three Things Together: Coffee\, Forests\, and Livelihoods
DESCRIPTION:Coffee is often experienced as a simple\, everyday ritual\, but its journey begins in complex landscapes where ecology\, labour\, and economy intersect. In this session\, Arshiya Bose of Black Baza Coffee reflects on nearly a decade of working closely with smallholder and indigenous coffee producers across India. The talk will explore what it truly means to build a business that attempts to sustain three interdependent systems—coffee cultivation\, forest ecosystems\, and community livelihoods.  \nThrough on-ground insights\, Arshiya will unpack the difficult negotiations\, compromises\, and ethical considerations that shape such work. The session will also consider the broader implications of conscious consumption and how our daily choices connect to fragile environments and rural economies. This is an opportunity to look beyond the cup and engage with the layered realities of producing coffee responsibly in today’s world. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to + 91 7722089666
