SUMMARY:"In the Shadow of Freedom" Ayi Tendulkar's Legacy: Goa- Berlin- Gandhi
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging conversation centered on the life and legacy of Dr. Ayi Tendulkar. His daughter\, Laxmi Dhaul\, author of In the Shadow of Freedom: Three Lives in Hitler’s Germany and Gandhi’s India (published by Zubaan Books)\, joins film producer Karan Shah to share personal reflections on her father’s extraordinary journey. Through this dialogue\, we gain a rich\, multi-faceted perspective on a remarkable individual whose life intersects with transformative historical events. \nAyi Tendulkar’s story is one of resilience and determination—he begins as a young boy walking from North Goa to Ahmedabad at the turn of the century and later journeys to Germany\, carving a path that spans education\, technology\, and culture in his pursuit of an independent India. \nThrough Laxmi’s intimate insights\, we witness how her parents’ personal lives are profoundly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi’s call for sacrifice\, how World War II separates them through political detention\, and how the Quit India Movement shapes their family’s trajectory. This event provides a rare glimpse into the life of a man who turns his aspirations into reality while navigating the challenges of a turbulent era. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Journey #HistoricalEvent #Education #Technology #Culture #Political

SUMMARY:The Clean Goa we Desire: Finding a Pathway
DESCRIPTION:Goa’s beautiful landscape is now tarnished by being strewn with waste. It also has the dubious honour of being the highest per capita generator of waste in India. This includes illegally disposing of bags of waste by residents who don’t have or don’t use the collection systems\, sacks of waste disposed along the roads by unscrupulous waste management operators\, industrial and construction waste\, litter from tourists and others. Moreover around 70% of waste is incinerated releasing pollutants into the atmosphere. \nThis Act for Goa led event with the Museum of Goa will focus on action needed by societies and other communities to ensure a waste-free Goa\, so vital for our quality of life. \nThis is an outcome-focused discussion seeking to make real progress in tackling the waste crisis which is undermining the quality of life for which Goa is renowned. It will involve identifying the critical actions that can and should be taken by key players: panchayats\, housing societies and the hospitality sector. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #WasteManagement #Landscape #IllegallyDisponsing #IndustrialWaste #ConstructionWaste #Communities #Crisis #WasteFreeGoa

Her book\, Moving to Goa\, explores the state’s scenic hinterlands\, diverse society\, and the hidden history of its colonial past. Since then\, Goa has transformed dramatically. Katharina now questions Goa’s twenty-first-century reality—why do urban escapees recreate city life here\, and how do local and nature-driven communities impact Goa’s well-being and environment? \nKatharina will be in conversation with Sheela Jayawant to discuss the paradoxes of building alternative lives in Goa\, confronting greed and exploitation\, and fostering hope for positive change. \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSunday #Talk #Hinterland #HiddenHistory #SouthGoanVillage #Exploitation #Environment #DiverseSociety #colonialPast #CityLife #Communities

SUMMARY:Cycle Diaries - A Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Museum of Goa (MOG) along with The Lala Foundation made possible by the Fonds Voor Cultural Participatie through the International collaboration 2022-2024 grant\, organised an art exhibition ‘Homo Ludens: The Art of Play’ that invited art practitioners from India and The Netherlands to create art inspired by the Dutch concept of Homo Ludens. \nThe exhibition explored the significant role of play in everyday life and human civilisation\, through a cross-cultural dialogue by artists from India and The Netherlands. Featuring 3 shows\, ‘Homo Ludens: खेल – Spel’ showcasing multimedia artworks curated by Sajid Wajid Shaikh; ‘Cycle Diaries’ A photo exhibition curated by Prashant Panjiar\, along with Asmita Parelkar and Sharada Kerkar; and  collaborative artworks created by artists from India and The Netherlands\, reimagining clowns as a part of ‘Joint Jesters’ show. \nThe 3 shows explored the idea of play through various mediums\, showcasing the works of 99+ artists displaying over 100 artworks. \nCycle Diaries: A Photo Exhibition explores the essence of Play through the lens of cycles and the various ways we interact with them every day. From young boys sporting their first wheelies to old men returning home after a long day in the fields\, cycles are more than just modes of transport; they are lifelong companions that carry stories we encounter daily. \n \nCycles offer us a sense of freedom\, a way to venture beyond our immediate surroundings\, to glide through fields\, visit distant friends\, or even sneak off to a rendezvous with new loves and old bonds. \nCycles are versatile with the things they transport\, delivering balloons\, candy\, flowers\, and morning newspapers. In India\, they often carry something even more profound: the weight of countless livelihoods. Some bear entire families\, in the aftermaths of rain\, in the scorching heat\, towards safety and towards tomorrow. Some carry siblings and friends\, sharing laughter and love as they tease each other as they make their way home. \nThis exhibition captures images of daily life intertwined with cycles\, across various intersections of human experience. Through the eyes of photographers\, we glimpse fleeting yet timeless moments that celebrate this enduring relationship. \nCuratorial team\nPrashant Panjiar is a self-taught photographer\, photojournalist\, editor and curator. He has served on the jury of the World Press Photo Awards\, the China International Press Photo Competition\, Indian Express Press Photo Awards and the National Foundation of India’s annual photography fellowship. Being one of India’s leading photo-practitioners\, Panjiar is actively involved in mentoring younger photographers. \nAsmita Parelkar is a Mumbai-based freelance documentary photographer and photojournalist. Asmita attended the Documentary Photography & Photojournalism program at the International Center of Photography in New York. \nSharada Kerkar\, the Chief Operating Officer of the Museum of Goa (MOG)\, is a visionary leader dedicated to fostering artistic dialogue and cultural preservation. She plays a pivotal role in curating initiatives that celebrate Goa’s stories through contemporary art exhibitions and collaborations. \n \nThe exhibition showcases daily life intertwined with cycles\, as a lens to explore aspects of play. The cycle is a very common visual element in both India and The Netherlands\, with The Netherlands having more cycles than people.  \nThe exhibition showcases 88 photographs\, from 63 photographers consisting of both Dutch and Indian photographers. The photographs were selected through an open call\, which received more than 900 photos from both countries. The open call also featured a contest and presented awards of 50\,000 INR\, 30\,000 INR and 20\,000 INR to the First\, Second and Third prize winners respectively.  \nThe photographs explore various ways in which humans interact with cycles in a playful manner. With children sporting wheelies to old men returning from work\, the exhibition showcases how cycles are lifelong companions. It also depicts the various things that cycles carry\, candies\, flowers\, toys and most importantly livelihoods and families.  \n \n \nParticipating photographers\nAaron Cardozo | Abhay Kanvinde | Amitava Chandra | Anindya Phani | Anja Menninger | Arindam Thokder | Arjun Duvvuru | Arpan Basu Chowdhury | Arun | Arunkumar Marimuthu | Atharv Salgaonkar | Avijit Ganguly | Ayanava Sil | Ayush Krishna Tripathi | Bhagyashree Meshakar | Chenthil B Mohan | Claire Cammaert | Connie Post | Darpana Athale | Debdatta Chakraborty | Deepayan Khatua | Dheeraj Paul | Dipak Ray | Dylan Joziasse | Fahim Sayed | Goutam Podder | Jayasish Banik | Lalita vam Lamsweerde | Madhusudanan P | Masood Sarwer | Meet Kuntmal | Mehak Bakshi | Mithun Kudalkar | Mohit Manwani | Neenad Arul | Onkar Hemant Tapse | Pattabi Raman | Prasanna Govid | Prathamesh Parmekar | Pravin Shekar | Rob Bruns | Rujitha Thirumurthy | Saikat Chanda | Salonee Jain | Sami Siva | Sanjeev Kumar | Santanu Bose | Shivam Harmalkar | Shridarshan Shukla | Siddharth Behl | SK Rahaman Hossain | Somenath Mukhopadhyay | Soumyadeep Kundu | Sourav Karmakar | Stasja Krzeminski | Sudalaimani G | Sudipto Das | Sumit Sanyal | Suraj Thomas | Swaraj Kalyane | Tathagatha Ghosh | Vikram Raj | Vincent Paul \n  \n\n\nமருது + மலை (Marudhu + Malai) by Rujitha T. \n\n  \nThe exhibition is an initiative of the Museum of Goa and LaLa Foundation\, supported by the Fund for Cultural Participation. \n

SUMMARY:Homo Ludens | The Art of Play
DESCRIPTION:The Homo Ludens: The Art of Play delves into the multifaceted role of play in various facets of human life. Through a diverse range of artworks and interactive installations\, three key exhibitions explore how play transcends boundaries and permeates different aspects of existence. It examines the significance of play in culture\, society\, education\, creativity\, and personal well-being. By showcasing the works of over 99 Indian and Dutch artists\, the exhibition provides a unique perspective on the universal nature of play and its impact on lives. \nThe exhibition is an initiative of the Museum of Goa and LaLa Foundation\, supported by the Fund for Cultural Participation. \n \nBackground\n\n\n\n\n\nIndia and The Netherlands have shared historical connections for centuries\, beginning with the arrival of the Portuguese on the west coast of India in 1498. This was soon followed by the Dutch\, French\, British\, and Danish\, with the Dutch establishing control over Cochin in Kerala and attempting to conquer Goa from the Portuguese. The Dutch also had trading posts in various ports across India. \nIn the late 19th century\, Dutch scholar Johan Huizinga\, who studied Sanskrit and earned his PhD for his thesis on the role of jesters in Indian drama\, wrote the influential book “Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play Element in Culture.” In this work\, Huizinga explores the significance of play in various aspects of human life\, including art\, language\, law\, and religion. He argues that play is not merely a frivolous activity but an essential component of human culture with deep historical and social roots. \nHuizinga suggests that play is a fundamental aspect of civilization\, as it facilitates the development of social bonds\, the transmission of cultural values\, and the creation of meaning. He views play as a source of creativity\, innovation\, and social cohesion. \nThe theme of “Homo Ludens” is ideal for a program aimed at cultural practitioners\, as it stimulates engagement with art in diverse forms. It aims to bring together practitioners from various fields to explore the significance of artistic expression. This program encourages individuals to engage in creative activities\, free from rigid intellectual frameworks or predetermined outcomes\, emphasizing the joy\, spontaneity\, and freedom of artistic expression. The goal is for art to be a source of pleasure\, exploration\, and personal fulfilment. \n \n\n\nHomo Ludens: The Art of Play \n\n\nHomo Ludens: The Art of Play consists of three exhibitions showcasing the works of 99+ artists displaying over 100 works across media. \nHomo Ludens: Khel-Spel Exhibition | Curated by Sajid Wajid Shaikh\nThis exhibition draws deeply from Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga’s influential work ‘Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture’. The text reminds us that human civilisation\, in all its grandeur\, finds its roots in something as simple\, yet profound\, as play. Homo Ludens\, meaning “playing humans\,” presents the idea that play is not just entertainment but a fundamental condition for the emergence and growth of culture. \n \nIn this exhibition\, artists from India and The Netherlands come together in a cross-cultural exchange to interpret play on their own terms. Some follow the rules\, while others create their own\, or break free entirely\, shaping a space brimming with boundless possibilities —where\, within Huizinga’s concept of the “magic circle\,” play transforms into something beyond the ordinary. \nThrough their works\, we explore how the various forms in which play presents itself in our lives. From playful puns\, unusual imagery\, and lighthearted games\, alongside deeper explorations into themes like identity\, war\, and freedom\, the exhibition reveals the many forms play adapts in culture. It is whimsical\, it is serious\, it is complex—and in this ambiguity\, lies the essence of play. \nRather than seeking a single\, definitive meaning\, the exhibition embraces the multiple interpretations that arise from abstract\, playful\, or nonsensical art. Here it emphasizes the creative process itself—a return to the primal joy of play. \nAmrit Pal | Ankit Patel | Arun Sharma | Ashima Raizada | Chaitali Morajkar | Deelip Khomane | Gautam Dutta | Harma Heikens | Harshit Agrawal | Laura Snijders | Leon Hendrickx | Luca Tichelman | Martin Sailor | Meesha Holley | Nilofar Shaikh | Omkar Dhareshwar | Oviya Manivannan | Priyanka Shah | Rahul Shakya | Rohit Khedkar | Sajid Wajid Shaikh | Sana Jankharia | Sankalp Kansar | Sanskar Sawant | Shivangi Kalra | Shruti Chawan | Subodh Kerkar | Sujat Roy | Thijs Van De Loo \nCycle Diaries: A Photo Exhibition | Curated by Prashant Panjiar with Asmita Parelkar and Sharada Kerkar \nCycle Diaries: A Photo Exhibition explores the essence of Play through the lens of cycles and the various ways we interact with them every day. From young boys sporting their first wheelies to old men returning home after a long day in the fields\, cycles are more than just modes of transport; they are lifelong companions that carry stories we encounter daily. \n \nCycles offer us a sense of freedom\, a way to venture beyond our immediate surroundings\, to glide through fields\, visit distant friends\, or even sneak off to a rendezvous with new loves and old bonds. \nCycles are versatile with the things they transport\, delivering balloons\, candy\, flowers\, and morning newspapers.

Through the eyes of photographers\, we glimpse fleeting yet timeless moments that celebrate this enduring relationship. \nRead More \n63 artists from India and The Netherlands showcased their photographs at the exhibition. \nJoint Jesters\nJoint Jesters\, is an exhibition centred on experimentation and play\, where the act of creating becomes a game. The theme draws on the figure of the Jester\, a symbol of freedom\, humour\, and creativity in culture\, as explored by a Dutch researcher\, Johan Huizinga.   \n \nHistorically\, jesters were more than just entertainers; they embodied the playful spirit essential to human culture. Their humour\, satire\, and mockery created a space where societal norms could be questioned. This ability to engage in ‘playful criticism’ demonstrates the power of play to influence thought and culture.  \nJoint Jesters followed the process of the ‘Exquisite Corpse’ game\, developed by the surrealists; the game serves as an art method that allows for collaboration between artists. The traditional game involves each player adding to a folded paper without seeing the previous person’s creation\, revealing surprising\, whimsical results when unfolded. The game celebrates chance\, imagination\, and the collective sense of creating.  \nJoint Jesters is a collaboration between digital artists from India and The Netherlands\, who reimagined the jester using elements from both cultures. \nAngie Mathot | Ivo de Boer | Julie Nakzi | Omisha Gandhi | Parvathy Subramanian | Toash Bhat \n

SUMMARY:WE THE PEOPLE (TOO)
DESCRIPTION:By Siddhesh Gautam\, also known as Bakery Prasad \nAbout the Exhibition\nWhat is independence? Is it the freedom of a state from external control\, or a shared sense of freedom among its people? \nOn the midnight of 15 August 1947\, India gained independence from British rule. But did the people achieve true freedom that night\, or did the change truly begin on 26 January 1950\, when the Constitution replaced colonial law and the Manusmriti\, opening new paths for those oppressed for centuries as Untouchables? \nWe the People (too) by artist Siddhesh Gautam\, also known as Bakery Prasad\, honors those who fought for freedom before and after colonial rule\, and those who carried forward the struggle against caste oppression. It brings together the stories of leaders\, reformers\, and everyday people whose lives speak of resilience and the ongoing pursuit of equality\, liberty\, and fraternity. At its centre is a personal journey of reclaiming a history once lost\, and of connecting with the shared past of a community determined to shape its own future. \n \nArtworks and Excerpts\nSavitrimai\, Jotiba\, Ramai\, Periyar\, and Ambedkar (2024)\nPortraits honouring key figures who challenged caste oppression and fought for education\, social reform\, and the dismantling of hierarchy. \nEducate\, Agitate and Organise: A self portrait (2021)\nA reflection on the artist’s own role in continuing Ambedkar’s call for education\, agitation\, and organisation as tools for justice. \nHow bloody is the doorbell of Gods (2020)\nA visual challenge to the violence and exclusion hidden within religious spaces and traditions. \nAspirations of the oppressed (2023)\nExplores the hope and determination of communities historically denied equality\, and their vision for a more just society. \nCome get education (2023)\nTells the story of Savitribai Phule and Fatima Sheikh\, pioneers who opened India’s first school for girls in 1848\, defying caste and gender barriers. \nFuture Blues feat.

SUMMARY:Planing for Life\, Planning for Destuction: The Twists and Turns of Land-use Planning in Goa
DESCRIPTION:Goa has been a pioneer in progressive land legislations\, land-use planning and also land struggles. Despite 35 years of land-use planning\, the state repeatedly finds itself in the throes of land conflicts. This talk by Solano Da Silva\, co- author of the book The Great Goa Land Grab\, revisits the promise of land-use planning in the state and juxtaposes it with critical observations about land policies and their impact. Through this\, it highlights a range of ‘manoeuvres’ through which land policies are ‘captured’\, but it also foregrounds resistances. The intention behind this talk by Solano is to begin to unpack Goa’s land transformation and\, through this\, initiate an informed conversation about alternative land futures for Goa\, ones which are ecologically grounded and just. \n   \n \n

SUMMARY:Art Inc. | An Exhibition for Persons With Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Art Inc. is a first-of-its-kind art exhibition at the Museum of Goa (MOG) that will showcase the artworks of artists belonging to the Persons With Disabilities (PWD) community. The exhibition will serve as a space that fosters artistic aspirations and allows for discussions around art and disability. It will also serve as a means to understand the various talents of people belonging to the community and allow for a new lens to understand their lived experiences in a dignified manner.  \nIndividuals belonging to the PWD community have access to only limited spaces and opportunities\, to not just exist but most importantly to express themselves. The project aims to create a space that is inclusive of all and is representative. We recognise that talent exists everywhere and there is a certain responsibility with us to bring it to light for our audiences to witness. In organising an art exhibition for this particular community\, we would not only create awareness but also help bridge the gap in understanding the lived experiences of persons with disability. \nArt Inc. is an initiative by the Museum of Goa in collaboration with the Office of the State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities\, Goa. It is supported by EnAble India and International Purple Fest Goa.  \n  \n
