SUMMARY:"In the Shadow of Freedom" Ayi Tendulkar's Legacy: Goa- Berlin- Gandhi
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging conversation centered on the life and legacy of Dr. Ayi Tendulkar. His daughter\, Laxmi Dhaul\, author of In the Shadow of Freedom: Three Lives in Hitler’s Germany and Gandhi’s India (published by Zubaan Books)\, joins film producer Karan Shah to share personal reflections on her father’s extraordinary journey. Through this dialogue\, we gain a rich\, multi-faceted perspective on a remarkable individual whose life intersects with transformative historical events. \nAyi Tendulkar’s story is one of resilience and determination—he begins as a young boy walking from North Goa to Ahmedabad at the turn of the century and later journeys to Germany\, carving a path that spans education\, technology\, and culture in his pursuit of an independent India. \nThrough Laxmi’s intimate insights\, we witness how her parents’ personal lives are profoundly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi’s call for sacrifice\, how World War II separates them through political detention\, and how the Quit India Movement shapes their family’s trajectory. This event provides a rare glimpse into the life of a man who turns his aspirations into reality while navigating the challenges of a turbulent era. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Journey #HistoricalEvent #Education #Technology #Culture #Political

SUMMARY:The Clean Goa we Desire: Finding a Pathway
DESCRIPTION:Goa’s beautiful landscape is now tarnished by being strewn with waste. It also has the dubious honour of being the highest per capita generator of waste in India. This includes illegally disposing of bags of waste by residents who don’t have or don’t use the collection systems\, sacks of waste disposed along the roads by unscrupulous waste management operators\, industrial and construction waste\, litter from tourists and others. Moreover around 70% of waste is incinerated releasing pollutants into the atmosphere. \nThis Act for Goa led event with the Museum of Goa will focus on action needed by societies and other communities to ensure a waste-free Goa\, so vital for our quality of life. \nThis is an outcome-focused discussion seeking to make real progress in tackling the waste crisis which is undermining the quality of life for which Goa is renowned. It will involve identifying the critical actions that can and should be taken by key players: panchayats\, housing societies and the hospitality sector. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #WasteManagement #Landscape #IllegallyDisponsing #IndustrialWaste #ConstructionWaste #Communities #Crisis #WasteFreeGoa

SUMMARY:Goa: A Journey of Rediscovery
DESCRIPTION:Many dream of escaping urban chaos for Goa’s serene landscapes. Katharina Poggendorf-Kakar and her late husband\, Sudhir Kakar\, did just that\, settling in a peaceful South Goan village 21 years ago. Her book\, Moving to Goa\, explores the state’s scenic hinterlands\, diverse society\, and the hidden history of its colonial past. Since then\, Goa has transformed dramatically. Katharina now questions Goa’s twenty-first-century reality—why do urban escapees recreate city life here\, and how do local and nature-driven communities impact Goa’s well-being and environment? \nKatharina will be in conversation with Sheela Jayawant to discuss the paradoxes of building alternative lives in Goa\, confronting greed and exploitation\, and fostering hope for positive change. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Hinterland #HiddenHistory #SouthGoanVillage #Exploitation #Environment #DiverseSociety #colonialPast #CityLife #Communities

SUMMARY:Planing for Life\, Planning for Destuction: The Twists and Turns of Land-use Planning in Goa
DESCRIPTION:Goa has been a pioneer in progressive land legislations\, land-use planning and also land struggles. Despite 35 years of land-use planning\, the state repeatedly finds itself in the throes of land conflicts. This talk by Solano Da Silva\, co- author of the book The Great Goa Land Grab\, revisits the promise of land-use planning in the state and juxtaposes it with critical observations about land policies and their impact. Through this\, it highlights a range of ‘manoeuvres’ through which land policies are ‘captured’\, but it also foregrounds resistances. The intention behind this talk by Solano is to begin to unpack Goa’s land transformation and\, through this\, initiate an informed conversation about alternative land futures for Goa\, ones which are ecologically grounded and just. \n   \n \n

SUMMARY:FN Souza: The Archetypal Artist'
DESCRIPTION:This is a conversation between Author Janeita Singh and Art Historian & Curator Lina Vincent on the book\, the illustrated monograph\, ‘FN Souza: The Archetypal Artist’ – based on a 12-year research project\, that began in 2012. The magnetism of the primordial imagery in Souza’s art “hooked me” says Janeita Singh\, the author. \nJaneita brings together fascina­ting threads of philosophical\, religious and artistic practices in her essays that let us slowly soak in the multiple layers of Souza’s art”. She is an academician turned literary-art critic. Her writing based on the belief\, ‘critic as an artist’ generates new perspectives of ways of seeing. \nLina Vincent is an independent art historian & curator. Since 2009\, the focus areas of her research have extended to projects with arts education\, printmaking history and practice\, the documentation of living traditions and folk arts in India\, and environmental consciousness in the arts. \nClick to View \n

SUMMARY:Imagine Goa\, Fifty Years Hence. "Goa 2075"
DESCRIPTION:‘Goa 2075’ is the first attempt in India at writing a live\, bilingual novel and in the process\, creating a new writing and publishing genre. The novel spans four segments – each segment reflects key issues currently impacting Goa\, like the land resource crunch\, environmental and social degradation\, corruption\, politics\, etc. \n“Goa 2075” is dystopian. As a state run by a ‘democratic’ corporation\, instead of an elected government. As a state where the population is divided into two classes\, the Overlords\, who can afford a licenced privilege to live on the surface and the Subterraneans\, the underprivileged mass\, shepherded into underground cavernous colonies. As a state with extensive manicured landscaping\, it is the beacon of global tourism and has India’s most expensive acreage\, but at the cost of its forest cover\, with climate change already whittling away at its beaches. As a state where a Board of Directors has replaced the Council of Ministers and where even Goa’s nomenclature has been changed to Go-aah as part of a commercial branding exercise. And as a state whose last living tigress is about to be hunted to clear off a patch of forests to make way for another luxurious villa enclave. \nClick to view the talk

SUMMARY:Double Engine- History of Goa Lok Sabha Elections
DESCRIPTION:Election results are out. In Goa\, both the BJP & Congress retained their seats. Was the BJP’s record lead of 1.16 lakhs in North Goa unexpected?

Is the BJP unbeatable in the North? \nSandesh Prabhudesai\, a veteran journalist & writer\, in view of his new book “ Double Engine: History of Goa Lok Sabha Elections”. \nHe was interviewed by political activist Trajano D’Mello\, who had actively played on Goa’s political turf for over four decades\, for the Janata Party\, BJP\, Goa Congress\, Rajiv Congress\, NCP\, Congress\, AAP\, and the TMC. \nBoth of them analysed today’s political situation while digging out the history with a perspective. \nClick to View \n

SUMMARY:Goa: Urbanization in the Era of Mass Consumption
DESCRIPTION:With its distinct history\, Goa has long been promoted as a pleasure periphery. The state’s tourism industry is a key driver of urbanization in the state. Leveraging the Goan lifestyle\, there is a push by the authorities to further promote tourism driven mass consumption with a focus on land sales\, second homes\, and entertainment. This model has put a lot of pressure on Goa’s vulnerable communities\, which is leading to an increasing amount of social discord. Tracing the evolution of Goa’s urbanism from the land reform undertaken in the 1960’s to the present\, the talk is a reading of the current urbanization patterns in Goa and the challenges its civil society faces going forward. \nFernando Velho is based in Goa with a practice dedicated to architecture\, furniture design\, heritage conservation and research. The Singapore Institute of Architects awarded one of his projects\, ‘The Zero Waste Archifest Pavilion’\, its Design and Excellence Award. He has also collaborated with Ayaz Basrai and Mansee Badve to design the India Pavilion at the Dubai Design Week\, 2019. \n
