SUMMARY:The Mind-Boggling Success of Sholay: Does the Reason lie in the Rasa theory?
DESCRIPTION:The film Sholay completes 50 years on August 15. It remains the film watched by the largest number of people ever\, and its unmatched popular appeal continues to endure. \nThis talk explores the enduring popularity of Sholay through the lens of Rasa theory\, suggesting that its lasting appeal lies in the rare presence of all nine rasas—the full spectrum of emotions. It is led by veteran screenwriter and teacher Anjum Rajabali\, known for films like Drohkaal\, Ghulam\, The Legend of Bhagat Singh\, and Raajneeti. He is also recognised for his leadership and advocacy for the rights of Indian screenwriters as a senior activist of the Screenwriters Association\, India. \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 772208966 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Film #Sholay #RasaTheory #Emotions ##Screenwriter #Popular #Leadership

SUMMARY:MOG SUNDAY - Celebrating National Wildlife Week with Talks\, Food and Films
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating National Wildlife Week with talks\, food\, and films \nThe Museum of Goa marks National Wildlife Week with a special program that highlights indigenous knowledge\, ecological interconnections\, and cultural perspectives\, driving the need to think about nature and biodiversity intersectionally. \nWhere Wisdom meets Forest Guardians | 11:30 AM – 1 PM \nWhenever science and the arts struggle\, it is the wisdom of Indigenous peoples that prevails. Let us learn that from Dr. Purabi Bose\, International Fellow\, Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (KSLA)\, Stockholm. One of her passions is in simplifying forest land science to communicate\, using arts\, with a diverse audience to connect with Indigenous wisdom. \nLunch Inspired by Nature | 1 PM – 2 PM \nA meal that honours the everyday wisdom of food. Cooked slowly\, using seasonal vegetables\, drawing from the language of sustainability and simplicity. Shreya’s cuisine reflects the “common man’s food” – proletariat\, unpretentious\, deeply flavourful\, and grounded in the rhythms of nature. \nSattu paratha with chokha and amla chutney – INR 300\nRice\, dal\, aloo bhujia\, chokha\, amla chutney – INR 350\nSattu sharbat – INR 50 \nPre-booking is compulsory \nFilm Screenings: Roundglass Sustain | 2 PM – 3 PM \nRoundglass Sustain is a not-for-profit dedicated to telling powerful\, accessible stories about India’s biodiversity through films\, photography\, writing\, and digital resources. These are not distant\, romanticised forests. They are our cities’ lungs\, our rivers’ guardians\, our buffers against climate extremes. Protecting them is an act of conserving wildlife\, and of safeguarding our shared future. \nThrough food\, art\, and stories\, we invite you to learn from those who live close to the land\, and reconnect with the stories of the Earth.

SUMMARY:Making of Zuari Cable - Stayed Bridge
DESCRIPTION:The Zuari Cable-Stayed Bridge in Goa is one of India’s most striking modern bridges\, linking North and South Goa across the Zuari River. Its making is a journey of engineering skill and teamwork\, captured beautifully in photographs at every stage. \nFrom deep riverbed foundations to soaring pylons and carefully tensioned steel cables\, the bridge deck gradually extends until both halves meet at the center. The process demands precision\, coordination\, and safety\, all reflected in images of massive sections lifted high above the river. \nUtpal Chakravarty\, a Civil Engineering graduate from Assam Engineering College\, leads landmark bridge projects in Goa\, including the Mandovi and Zuari cable-stayed bridges. Alongside engineering\, he cultivates a passion for construction photography\, documenting intricate processes with precision. Since retiring in 2025\, he fully dedicates himself to photography. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #ZuariBridge #Goa #ModernBridges #EngineeringSkill #Teamwork #SteelCables #Precision #Coordination #Safety #Construction

SUMMARY:India's Fifth Taste: From the Kitchen of the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Unknown to the larger world\, the Indian food story has its own fifth taste if one peeps into its Northeastern kitchens. Call it Khaar\, Kola-khar\, Kharsi\, Kharwi\, Kalchi\, Kangmoi\, or Khari — this earthy flavour\, made from the ash of banana peel and bark\, ensures that dishes cooked with it can’t be pinned down within the four basic human tastes in which we box the Indian food story. It is time\, therefore\, to amend the story and carve out an Indian food atlas that truly lays its claim to a uniqueness that is as much its own Umami as it is an ancient practice. \nSangeeta Barooah Pisharoty is the National Affairs Editor of The Wire\, formerly a special correspondent of The Hindu. She receives critical acclaim for her documentation of the Assam Movement in her debut book\, Assam: The Accord\, The Discord. Sangeeta begins her career at the national news agency United News of India and becomes the first woman from Northeast India to be employed at the agency’s New Delhi headquarters. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #IndianFoodStory #Taste #EarthyFlavour #Uniqueness #AncientPractice #AssamMovement #NationalAfairsEditor #UnitedNewsofIndia #Career

SUMMARY:Craft\, Draught\, Micro\, Marco
DESCRIPTION:In the world of beer\, a few words keep cropping up: craft\, draught\, micro\, and macro. But what do they really mean? And how do these definitions shift across Indian states and global beer cultures? \nTo find out\, we turn to Aditya Challa\, the man who helps put Goa on India’s craft beer map\, founder of Susegado Microbrewery. His story is about building an identity for a state already known for its laid-back Susegado ethos\, and marrying that cultural rhythm with the precision and creativity of brewing. \nFor Aditya\, it means pushing through regulatory hurdles\, navigating licensing systems\, and making the case for why a microbrewery coexists with\, and even strengthens\, the state’s food and drink culture. He partners with local chefs for beer pairings and supports local farmers where possible. In Aditya’s words\, “Susegado isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about doing things well\, without rush.” A philosophy worth toasting. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #BeerCulture #Craft #Draught #Goa #Creativity #Microbrewery #LocalFarmers #Ethos

SUMMARY:Pari: Stories from the Margins
DESCRIPTION:In a media world that often overlooks the voices of people living on the margins\, Jyoti YL’s journalism stands out\, and she has won numerous awards and accolades. Her work at the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI)\, traces the lives of those pushed furthest to the peripheries: tribal women like Tulshi Bhagat\, who gathers palash leaves from the forests of Shahapur and travels over 40 kilometers to Mumbai to earn a meagre living; Bhil women in the Satpura ranges of Nandurbar who suffer chronic pain from untreated uterine prolapse; displaced communities uprooted by the Samruddhi Highway and other development projects. \nFrom Thane’s vanishing riversides to Amravati’s demolished schools for nomadic children\, her stories bring us the truth of how marginalized lives are routinely disregarded by state policy. During the Covid-19 pandemic\, Jyoti covered children with visual and intellectual disabilities and captured how isolation had deepened their vulnerabilities. Reporting from the ground in all these areas\, her journalism is a combination of evidence and empathy\, along with great storytelling. \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Journalism #People’sArchiveofRuralIndia #TribalWomen #Communities #DevelopmentProject #IntellectualDisabilities #Empathy #Storytelling Vulnerabilities #NomadicChildren \n

SUMMARY:Conversation and Rain Dogs Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of visual storytelling with a special conversation featuring acclaimed photographer Rohit Chawla alongside Katharina Kakar\, Atul Sarin\, and Hemali Sodhi only at Museum of Goa. This conversation will precede the opening of ‘Rain Dogs’\, Chawla’s latest body of work\, his most introspective yet. \nRecently awarded India’s first Industry Craft Gold Lion at Cannes in 2023\, and having swept two Grand Prix honours at Spikes Asia and the Abbies in 2024\, Rohit brings to ‘Rain Dogs’ a deep sense of stillness\, solitude\, and quiet resilience. “These are perhaps some of my quietest and introspective works\,” he shares. “The pictures show resilience and the inner lives of these dogs.” \nRohit Chawla is widely regarded as one of India’s foremost contemporary photographers. With a storied career that began in advertising\, he later founded his own design and film production company. His solo exhibitions have ranged from Wanderlust and Tribute to Raja Ravi Varma to Banned Books (2024)\, each project reflecting his diverse artistic engagements. As the former creative director at India Today and Open magazine\, he produced over 400 iconic covers. \nThe panelists will discuss the state of stray animals in Goa and across India\, exploring both government regulations and the perspectives of civil society. The conversation will dig into how these issues are being addressed and why the welfare of strays remains a critical concern in our evolving and increasingly urbanized society. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Storytelling #Conversation #RainDogs #Stillness #Solitude #QuietResilience #Contemporary #Design #StrayAnimals #CivilSociety #UrbanizedSociety \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Mapusa Mogi Project: An Ongoing Community- Centric Public Art Project in Goa
DESCRIPTION:Mapusa is a historic town that Orijit has loved intimately for over 25 years. However\, in recent years\, this unique place—a cradle of Goan culture\, commerce\, and cottage industry—faces a rapid decline. Orijit believes public art plays a powerful role in awakening community consciousness. \nIn July 2023\, he secures an art grant and the necessary permissions to begin the Mapusa Mogi Project (‘Mogi’ means ‘lover’ in Konkani)\, a community-centric public art mural made entirely in ceramic and glass. The grant allows him to form a team\, rent a studio\, conduct workshops\, interview locals\, and complete the first 8 metres of the mural\, now known as the Centrepiece. \nBut there is still a long way to go. The final mural spans 100 metres. To realise the next phase\, the team is launching a Kickstarter campaign on August 12\, 2025\, with a goal of raising $30\,000–$40\,000 (₹25–35 lakhs). This base amount allows them to complete the next 20 metres of the wall. \nOrijit Sen is a graphic artist\, muralist\, and activist. His work spans public art\, comics\, and design\, and is widely exhibited nationally and internationally. Grounded in social observation\, his stories—set across times and geographies—remain deeply rooted in the politics and emotions of the present. \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Mapusa #GoanCulture #Commerce #CottageIndustry #MapusaMogiProject #Workshop #GraphicArtist #Muralist #Activist #PublicArt #Design #SocialObservation #Politics #Emotions

SUMMARY:Mining\, The New Regime
DESCRIPTION:Should We Be Heading Towards Another Mining Shutdown? \nMining is halted twice earlier because it is deeply inequitable for the people of Goa. Now\, mining restarts under a new framework. On paper\, it appears that things have changed — but has the underlying problem truly been addressed? \nThe Mines Department facilitates the restart of operations\, yet safeguards are missing. Goa still lacks a lab to test ore quality\, leaving room for underreporting and undervaluation. There is also silence on the long-overdue restoration of lands scarred by mining\, and over 750 million tonnes of mining waste remain unaddressed. \nGiven all this\, we must ask: Is Goa ready for this restart? Or are we once again drifting toward the consequences that force previous shutdowns? Should we be calling for a third\, possibly permanent pause until the groundwork is responsibly laid? What role can the courts still play? And how can ordinary citizens participate meaningfully in these decisions? \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Mining #PeopleofGoa #Mines #Problem #Operations #Restoration #Responsibility #Consequences #GroundWork #Safeguards

SUMMARY:Who Plans in Goa?
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is talking about land in Goa. Type it into Google and you’ll find a host of influencers suggesting investment in the property market. Open the local newspapers\, and you’ll see constant stories of villagers objecting to construction projects. \nTahir Noronha is an architect and urban planner currently pursuing a PhD at UC Berkeley. With roots in Goa\, his work spans planning law\, conservation\, and community governance. He leads the Charles Correa Foundation in the past. \nIn this session\, Tahir traces how land slips away—enabled by officials and resisted by citizens armed with little more than RTIs and hand-drawn maps. Goa may be small\, but what happens here raises a powerful question: when the selling of land replaces its protection\, what do we do next? \nRSVP is compulsory. \nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register! \n  \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Goa #Land #PropertyMarket #ConstructionProjects #UrbanPlanner #Law #Conversation #CommunityGovernance

SUMMARY:Film Screening: I Am Nothing
DESCRIPTION:‘I Am Nothing’ is a poignant and visually captivating documentary that chronicles the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Vamona Ananta Sinai Navelcar (1929–2021)\, a Goan artist whose work and experiences span three continents—Asia\, Europe\, and Africa. Directed by Ronak Kamat and shot entirely in Goa\, the film blends rare archival footage\, personal interviews\, and an evocative score by Ashley Fernandes. It highlights Navelcar’s signature works like the “clown series” and single-stroke drawings\, while reflecting on his ongoing under recognition in Goa. Crafted over eight years\, this one-hour film stands as a tribute to an artist who chooses humility over fame and believes in art as a form of connection. \nRonak Kamat is a writer and director known for his award-winning documentaries\, short films\, and screenwriting. His short film ‘Bare’ wins at CICFF 2021 and earns international acclaim.

SUMMARY:Seeing Differently: A Talk on Lateral Thinking & Design
DESCRIPTION:What makes good design truly stand out? How do we learn to observe the world with intention\, to notice what often slips past the eye? Zahir Mirza—program head of Communication and Experience Design at JJ School of Arts and Architecture—guides us into the art of lateral thinking and its deep connection to everyday creativity. \nDrawing from his experience at the intersection of design education and practice\, Mirza explores how shifting perspective leads to original ideas and more meaningful engagement with the world. He unpacks the principles at the heart of good utilitarian design—simplicity\, clarity\, empathy\, function—and how these remain consistent across disciplines and cultures. \nThis session invites designers\, students\, professionals\, and curious minds to rethink how they approach problems and train themselves to see nuances rather than surfaces. Whether you’re crafting communication strategies\, visual identities\, products\, or experiences\, the talk offers frameworks that inspire clarity and intentionality in design. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #DesignEducation #Simplicity #Clarity #Empathy #Function #Frofessionals #VisualIdentity #Experience #Crafting #Strategies

SUMMARY:Absent Archives - Absent\, Not Forgotten
DESCRIPTION:Absent Archives is a platform and community for memory workers\, keepers\, and those engaging with what is missing: oral histories\, erased voices\, family and community archives\, and stories that never make headlines. Across South Asia\, our histories are shaped not only by destroyed records but also by deep and persistent silences. How do we make sense of the past when so much is never documented? \nPowerful memory work is happening all around us\, often in isolation. Absent Archives aims to change this by creating a space for sharing\, learning\, and building a collective vocabulary of remembrance. This launch talk marks the beginning of many conversations to follow. \n  \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Archives #OralHistories #Sharing #Learning #Community #Stories

SUMMARY:Whip Spiders\, Whip Scorpions & Tarantulas: The 'Not-so-Charismatic' Wildlife of Goa
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Big Cats: Goa’s Secret Arachnid World with Dr. Manoj R. Borkar \nWhen we think of Goa’s wildlife\, our minds often jump to leopards\, exotic birds\, or crocodiles. But hidden in the undergrowth are lesser-known — yet equally fascinating — creatures: Whip Spiders\, Whip Scorpions\, and Tarantulas. \nThrough decades of groundbreaking research and tireless advocacy\, Dr. Manoj R. Borkar has brought these elusive arachnids into the spotlight. From documenting first sightings to advocating their role as bioindicators\, his work has redefined how we understand and value Goa’s rich—but often overlooked—biodiversity. He has co-authored Goa’s first Biodiversity Strategy & Action Plan and crafted Wildlife Management Plans for the Cotigao and Netravali Wildlife Sanctuaries. \nA scientist\, poet\, columnist\, and orator\, Dr. Borkar invites us to look beyond conventional notions of beauty and fear\, and instead\, engage with the intricate lives of the creatures that scuttle\, cling\, and camouflage in silence. This session is a call to reimagine the wild\, and to celebrate those who are vital to our ecosystems\, yet remain unseen and unsung. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Wildlife #Creatures #Research #Biodiversity #Management #Ecosystem

SUMMARY:The Curious Case of the Coastal Zones of Goa
DESCRIPTION:Goa’s coastlines\, rivers\, and sea front *are* more than scenic stretches of sand—they *are* fragile ecosystems\, cultural lifelines\, and natural buffers against climate disasters. But today\, they *face* threats like never before. Rapid\, unsustainable development\, constructions\, illegal tapping of groundwater\, and weak enforcement of regulations *push* these vital zones to the brink. \nIn this talk\, Judith Almeida\, a long-time coastal activist from Colva\, *shares* her journey on the frontlines of the fight to protect Goa’s shores. Drawing from years of grassroots experience\, she *explains* why Coastal Regulation Zones (CRZ) matter\, how they work\, and what *is* at stake if we fail to uphold them. \nFrom rising sea levels and eroded beaches to disappearing dunes\, this session *unpacks* the serious crisis unfolding along our riverfronts and beaches—and why the sanctity and ecology of the coast *remain* essential not just for today\, but for generations to come. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Coastlines #Rivers #FragileEcosystem #CulturalLifeline #ClimateDisasters #Threats #UnsustainableDevelopment #Beaches #Ecology #CoastalRegulationZone

SUMMARY:It's Raining Fish - Hallelujah!
DESCRIPTION:Fish is more than just food in Goa—it is part of the state’s soul. Traditionally\, the monsoon months are a time of seafood scarcity. But today\, fish appears abundant: in restaurants\, supermarkets\, and mobile fish vans\, even during the peak of the rains. It paints a picture of plenty—but is it real? \nGoa\, like other coastal states on India’s west coast\, enforces a monsoon fishing ban on mechanised vessels\, including trawlers that supply most of the seafood we consume. So where does all this fish come from? And what is the hidden cost? \nOn the occasion of World Oceans Day\, marine conservationist Dr. Aaron Savio Lobo unpacks the surprising story behind our year-round seafood supply. Drawing from personal experience and local traditions\, he explores how industrial fishing\, frozen imports\, and shifting consumption patterns reshape our relationship with the sea. \nAaron also turns our gaze to Goa’s rivers\, fields\, and backwaters—where crabs\, eels\, snails\, and dry fish khare continue to sustain communities during the monsoon. These overlooked “blue foods” may hold lessons for a more resilient and sustainable future—both for people and the planet. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Fish #Food #Monsson #SeafoodScarcity #Rains #CoastalStates #WorldOceanDay #IndustrialFishing #FrozenImports #LocalTraditions

SUMMARY:Uttai Re Goemkarano: The Youth are Calling
DESCRIPTION:Goa is changing—and the youth must rise to meet the moment. Once a land of lush hills\, vibrant communities\, and cultural depth\, Goa now faces serious threats. From hill-cutting and deforestation to water scarcity and unchecked real estate\, the damage runs deep. But amidst this destruction\, a new wave of resistance grows—and the youth are at its heart. \nIn this talk\, Shohail Furtado\, youth activist and son of Varca\, shares how young Goans step forward to defend the land\, the culture\, and the collective future. Through on-ground strategies and lived experiences\, he explores what’s at stake—and how young people across Goa reclaim their agency\, speak up at gram sabhas\, organize clean-ups\, use art as resistance\, and hold power to account. \nThis is a moment to connect\, reflect\, and imagine how each of us\, especially the next generation\, shapes the fight for a just and sustainable Goa. \nCome listen. Come question. Come act. Because if the youth don’t stand up now\, who will? \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Land #SeriousThreats #Deforestation #WaterScarcity #Destruction #Culture #GoanFuture #Clean-ups #NextGeneration #SustainableGoa

SUMMARY:Goa's Unfinished Freedom
DESCRIPTION:More than six decades after Goa’s so-called liberation from Portuguese rule\, human rights activist Cyril A. Fernandes raises a provocative question: Is Goa truly free\, or quietly shortchanged? Unlike the Northeastern states that negotiate protections for land\, culture\, and economic autonomy before joining the Indian Union\, Goa receives no such safeguards. Is this a form of betrayal? \nWith rising land prices\, cultural erosion\, and Goans increasingly outnumbered in their own homeland\, Fernandes re-examines the annexation through a critical lens. In this powerful presentation\, he explores whether the Indian state fails to honour Goa’s distinct identity and jeopardizes the future of its people. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #PortugueseRule #HumanRights #LandPrices #CultureErosion #Economy #DistinctIdentity #Future

SUMMARY:Responsible Citizenship: Shaping the Future
DESCRIPTION:Climate change\, pollution\, biodiversity loss\, and the collapse of natural systems are no longer distant threats; they are urgent realities that undermine the wellbeing of both present and future generations. \nResponsible citizenship is essential in building a model of development that is sustainable\, inclusive\, and ethical. Yet\, many who yearn for change feel unsure about how to begin. Speaking out feels intimidating\, and too often\, those who do are dismissed as agitators or troublemakers. \nAt the Museum of Goa\, in collaboration with Act for Goa\, we invite you to join a vital conversation on reclaiming the role of the citizen. Together\, we explore practical strategies—from legal action and peaceful protest to media advocacy\, community participation\, and data-driven decision making—that empower citizens to shape just and sustainable futures. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #talk #ClimateChange #Biodiversity #Pollution #Citizenship #Development #Sustainable #ActforGoa #DecisionMaking

SUMMARY:Goa's Continuing Mining Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Goa’s mining crisis is a stark reminder of systemic failure. The Shah Commission in 2012 exposed the collusion of politicians\, bureaucrats and lessees in illegal mining\, describing it as a “complete collapse of the system.” The Supreme Court in 2018 condemned the “rapacious exploitation” of natural resources within the state. Despite mining tentatively resuming\, the foundations of governance remain broken. Who suffers? Goa\, every Goan — our children\, future generations\, local communities and the natural environment. \nIndia’s National Mineral Policy 2019 envisions minerals as a “shared inheritance\,” with the state acting as trustee. But this principle is far removed from reality. Claude Alvares and Rahul Basu of the Goa Foundation and Goenchi Mati Movement  presents a bold alternative to conventional mining. They argue that if mining activity is endorsed by Goan society\, only then should it be permitted. If allowed\, mining must follow constitutional mandates that ensure economic fairness\, environmental protection and just shares for all. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #MiningCrisis #Failure #IllegalMining #RapaciousExploitation #FutureGeneration #NaturalEnvironment #GoanSociety
