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

SUMMARY:Preview Night of Mangoes & Meanings: Histories\, Ecologies and Cultural Imagination
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. It asks how a fruit becomes a carrier of memory\, a marker of seasonality\, and a shared point of reference across generations. To engage with the mango is to encounter an object that is at once material and symbolic\, rooted and restless\, singular and endlessly varied. \nCome join us in this celebration\, kicking off with a Konkani Jazz Funk performance by Skiffle\, presenting Singer Avila Fernandes\, along with Vedant Saxena on the Guitar and Shania Vaz on the Keyboard! \nThe evening will be accompanied by specially curated cocktails by Hapusa Gin and Pipa Rum\, along with delicious non-alcoholic squashes by Vnya! \nWe look forward to celebrating India’s favourite fruit with you! \nRSVP: 77220 89666\n✉️ visit@museumofgoa.com

SUMMARY:The Mahabharata’s Feminine Force: How Its Women Drive the Story
DESCRIPTION:The Mahabharata\, often regarded as one of the greatest epics in narrative history\, is typically seen as a tale of heroic men—warriors who take solemn vows\, make immense sacrifices\, and fight valiantly for their principles. Within this framework\, women are frequently perceived as secondary figures—victims of circumstance\, dependent on male agency\, and at times portrayed as the source of conflict. \nHowever\, a closer and more critical reading challenges this patriarchal lens. The true driving force of the Mahabharata emerges from its women. Despite enduring injustice and marginalisation\, it is their choices\, decisions\, and actions that profoundly shape the course of the epic. Their presence injects the narrative with emotional depth and enduring relevance. \nFrom Kunti and Draupadi to Ganga\, Satyavati\, and Amba—along with Ambika\, Ambalika\, Gandhari\, and Hidimba—the epic is propelled forward by these powerful figures. Through an exploration of their journeys\, Anjum repositions them not as passive participants but as central forces that determine the story’s direction. \nAnjum Rajabali is a noted screenwriter and script mentor\, known for films such as Drohkaal\, Ghulam\, The Legend of Bhagat Singh\, and Raajneeti. He has been teaching screenwriting since 2006 at FTII Pune and Whistling Woods\, Mumbai. A senior activist with the Screenwriters Association (SWA)\, he is also actively involved in advocating for writers’ rights. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to + 91 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSundays #History #Mahabharata #Scarifice #Fight #Critical #Choice #Injustice #Conflict #Film #Screenwriting

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
