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

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:PARI: A Living Journal\, A Breathing Archive
DESCRIPTION:PARI focuses on the everyday lives of everyday people. Rural India is the most diverse part of the planet.

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

Now\, he finds himself the subject of a film being made about his epic journey. But what does he get out of the film shoot? \nWinning best first feature at IDFA and being part of New Directors New Films at MoMA\, the film blends fact and fiction as it retells migrant workers’ stories while examining its own gaze. As the shoot nears its end and Mahesh returns to the maze-like site of his construction job\, a portrait emerges of an endearing young man trapped in his circumstances.

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

SUMMARY:Fugitive Ideas And Sticky Notes
DESCRIPTION:Stories carried by people\, objects\, and vessels crossing the oceans over thousands of years reveal how mixing and exchange—whether accidental\, forced\, or voluntary—shape shared histories across the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. These interactions involve people\, animals\, natural environments\, spiritual practices\, and ideas of friendship and gifting. \nMario D’Souza\, a curator and writer based between New Delhi\, Goa\, and Kochi\, serves as Director of Programmes at the Kochi Biennale Foundation and is part of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale’s curatorial team. He also acts as Co-Artistic Director at HH Art Spaces and was formerly a curator at Khoj\, New Delhi.

SUMMARY:India 2030: A Culture- First View Of The Future
DESCRIPTION:Folk Frequency’s India and the Future series\, launched in 2019\, presents its latest industry report\, offering over a decade of immersive cultural insight\, consumer research\, and strategic foresight. Instead of relying solely on economic forecasts or demographic data\, India 2030 maps the real drivers of transformation—shifts in family structures\, aspirations\, gender roles\, values\, and the evolving local meanings of progress. \nFrom the quiet revolution of women’s autonomy to the rise of regional digital voices\, from the reimagining of caste and class identities to India’s plural modernities\, the report reveals the socio-cultural shifts that drive the digital and data revolutions—not just emerge from them. This is not just about India’s future—it is about the future of the world\, viewed through an Indian lens. \n#MuseumOfGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Culture #Research #Strategy #EconomicForecast #Progress #QuietRevolution #CasteandClass #Future

SUMMARY:What Women Carry
DESCRIPTION:Women carry worlds within them; they take on roles that range from having a job to changing the world to keeping a home\, often all at the same time. They carry burdens\, let go of others\, and reshape themselves along the way. These weights tell stories\, tracing the paths of those who came before and those yet to follow. \nHarshada’s women depict the daily loads women carry with them. Chaitali’s imagery moves freely\, beyond reality into surreal and dreamlike realms. One reflects on reality’s weight; the other\, the possibilities that arise when it lifts. Together\, they reveal the vastness of womanhood—its struggles\, strengths\, dreams\, and freedoms. \nHere\, we hold space for all of it—the heaviness and the lightness. And in doing so\, we make room for a new kind of strength\, not just in carrying\, but in choosing to let go. \n \n  \nParticipating Artists: \nChaitali Morajkar (Right) & Harshada Kerkar (Left) \n \nArtist Bios: \nChaitali Morajkar: Chaitali Morajkar has reimagined ideas connected to women through Goan elements. \nChaitali Morajkar is a contemporary artist and educator based in Goa\, known for her bold and unique approach to art. Her works delve into themes of gender\, identity\, nature\, and the human/hybrid body\, using a distinctive color palette. After completing her Master’s in Fine Art from the University of Hyderabad in 2001\, she has exhibited widely in India and internationally\, including in Germany\, Denmark\, and Copenhagen. \nHarshada Kerkar: Harshada Kerkar has depicted women in Goan markets that we walk past every day. \nKerkar was born in the village of Keri\, situated in the Pernem taluka of Goa. Her father\, Chandrakant\, was a distinguished artist and educator in the region. She has since been part of numerous solo and group exhibitions\, including notable events such as the National Lalit Kala Akademi Exhibition in New Delhi and the Serendipity Arts Festival. Her work often reflects the bond between nature and the people who live in tune with it. \n \n\nExhibition Highlights\n\n4\,500+ people visited the exhibition.\n700+ students experienced guided tours.\n45+ guided tours were conducted in total.\n2.3 lakh people reached on social media.\n\nThis exhibition is an independent production by the Museum of Goa.
