SUMMARY:Love Tales
DESCRIPTION:The conversation explores the world of artist Savia Viegas\, a storyteller who moves between books\, embroidery\, and memory. Growing up in the village of Carmona\, Savia learns early how small\, everyday moments carry powerful stories. Her novels\, Let Me Tell You About Quinta and Tales from the Attic\, explore themes of family\, migration\, and the hidden sides of Goan life—the stories that often remain untold. \nThe discussion focuses on her exhibition\, “Love Tales\,” where hand-stitched embroidery on upcycled denim brings stories of love\, desire\, and daily life from Goa’s oral traditions into view. As a fellow storyteller\, Leila Badyari guides the conversation\, exploring how Savia blends text\, image\, and craft to give shape to emotions and memories\, and how these forms allow community histories—often quietly preserved—to surface in compelling ways. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to + 91 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Conversation #Storyteller #Books #Embroidery #Moments #Novels #GoanLife #LoveTales #Desire #Traditions #Emotions #Memories #HiddenSide

SUMMARY:Exclusive Living and the Transformation of Goa's Villages
DESCRIPTION:At MOG Sunday\, architect Evanthika Pereira asks: What does exclusivity look like in built form? What happens when houses disconnect from local ecology and social networks? And how can architecture respond to this growing separation? \nBased on a study tracing settlement change from the late 90s to 2025 in Socorro\, the third-largest village of Bardez taluka\, the research maps how these forms of exclusive living alter land patterns\, mobility\, and everyday spatial relationships. \nThe talk ultimately asks a simple but urgent question: what kind of Goa are we building? \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Architecture #Houses #Ecology #Disconnect #Local #Settlement #Research #Mobility #SpatialRelationship

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

SUMMARY:The anthology of Goan Appetites
DESCRIPTION:Appetite stands as a heartfelt tribute to Goa — its salt-washed shores\, spice-filled air\, rich cuisine\, and the unquenchable appetite that beats at the core of the land and its people. \nThe collection moves from stories of late-night feasts going wrong in busy family living rooms\, to poems that trace desire and longing\, and essays that reflect on diaspora and in-migration. Each piece captures the feeling of true yearning. The anthology shifts smoothly between the intimate and the expansive — from the salty tang of the sea and the delicate twang of a rebec to the inner worlds of complex characters grappling with love\, loss\, sexuality\, and identity. \nGoa Writers invite readers to savour not just the stories\, but also the world that brings them to life. \nree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Appetite #Goa #RichCuisine #Land #People #Feast #Desire #Longing #Migration #Characters #Love #Loss #Sexuality #Identity #Stories

SUMMARY:Histories of Goa - OPEN CALL
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

DESCRIPTION:In the book\, India Street Lettering: A Journey Through Typographic Craft & Culture\, Pooja Saxena shines a spotlight on the country’s urban letterforms and the surprising stories behind them.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Madhav Gadgil

SUMMARY:A- Political Act: How Memes are becoming India's Digital Protest Art
DESCRIPTION:The interactive presentation explores how memes function as a form of subversive art\, turning viral trends into acts of resistance. Memes break down the distinction between creator and audience\, transforming consumers into co-creators. \nIt traces the rise of meme culture from simple internet jokes to a vital form of digital communication. In India\, where humour and satire often serve as tools for political dissent\, memes acquire new meaning. Unlike traditional political cartoons\, meme creation demands nothing more than a smartphone\, sharp wit\, and an understanding of internet culture. \nKabiran is a content creator and writer who experiments with humour and satire. Through A-political Act\, she works to create a participatory digital archive that examines how memes democratise dissent\, challenge propaganda\, and reshape political engagement in the digital age. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Memes #SubversiveArt #Creator #Audience #Culture #Jokes #Communication #PoliticalCartoons #Smartphone #Writer #Humour #Satire
