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:Tibetan Democracy in Exile: Perspectives from a Generation Born in India
DESCRIPTION:Tibetans have been living in India for over 60 years. This talk focuses on how Tibetans come to India and how they rebuild their political\, cultural\, and social institutions under the leadership of His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, with immense support from the Indian Government and its people. \nA technologist and a young member of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile\, Lobsang Gyatso Sither is part of the generation of Tibetans born in India.

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:A Place with the Pigs
DESCRIPTION:A Place with the Pigs: A Riveting Theatrical Experience \nAthol Fugard’s gripping play\, A Place with the Pigs\, is set to take the stage once again\, bringing to life the absurd yet poignant tale of a Russian soldier’s self-imposed exile. Directed by the acclaimed Dnyanesh Moghe\, this production promises to be an intense exploration of guilt\, redemption\, and the human longing for freedom. \nInspired by a bizarre yet true story\, A Place with the Pigs follows Pavel Ivanovitch\, a Russian deserter from World War II who spends decades hiding in his pigsty to avoid punishment. The setting—a damp\, claustrophobic sty—becomes a metaphor for the oppressive weight of his guilt and fear. The play navigates themes of personal dignity\, the psychological impact of war\, and the desperate quest for societal acceptance\, all within a runtime of 2 hours. \nMeet the Director: Dnyanesh Moghe \nDnyanesh Moghe\, a multi-faceted theater and film artist\, brings his wealth of experience to this production. A graduate of Kala Academy and St. Xavier’s Mumbai\, Moghe has an impressive portfolio that spans acting\, directing\, and cinematography. His directorial credits include Shantata! Court Chalu Ahe\, Lights Out\, Sageena Mahato\, and even a previous adaptation of A Place with the Pigs (Par Prasthan). His vision for the play\, combined with his extensive knowledge of transcreating global plays for Indian audiences\, ensures a compelling adaptation. \nThe Event will be accompanied by exclusive Gin and Whiskey from Roulette. \nTicket: INR 499/-\nTicket Link: A Place With The Pigs \n  \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGEvents #Play #Performance #SocietalAcceptance #Russian #PersonalDignity #Psychological #Theater #Film #Acting #Cinematography #Prodution #Experience #Adaptation

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. He debuts globally with Amazon Prime’s ‘PI Meena’ and writes for the hit Jio Hotstar series ‘Power of Paanch’. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Documentary #Chronicles #Goa #Film #Fame #humility #ShortFilm #AmazonPrime #International

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
