SUMMARY:Make Yourself At Home - A Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition begins with a simple but powerful act: turning one’s gaze toward home. Here\, Indrajit Khambe turns his camera inwards\, towards his own home in Sindhudurg and the neighbouring villages such as Hampi and Harnai. His photographs are not spectacles; they are acts of attention. \nThrough his attentive wanderings\, the village reveals itself not as a postcard image of rural life\, but as a living\, working landscape. We see how sarees become makeshift barricades in agricultural fields\, how different fish are sought in different seasons\, and how occupations shift with climate and economy.  \n \n \nThe aesthetic here emerges from habit — from the unconscious design of everyday life. The way a fisherman stands is shaped by years of balancing on a boat. The way a farmer bends informs us of his relationship with the soil. Every gesture carries the imprint of land\, labour\, and climate. Each of us carries such a microscape within us — a village\, a neighbourhood\, a small geography that has shaped our ways of being. The question is not whether it formed us\, but whether we are willing to look at it closely — to examine its patterns without romance\, and to see what has been there all along. \n“Make Yourself At Home” becomes both invitation and method. It asks us to slow down and look closely at the places we think we already know. In stepping into Indrajit’s homeland\, we are encouraged to reconsider our own and ask what it would mean to truly observe the place that made us. \nCATALOGUE \nSpecial thanks to Zapurza for their support. \nJoin us at the Museum of Goa to experience it in person! \nThe exhibition will be open for public viewing from the 17th of February 2026 till the 19th of April 2026.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk About Goa\, 50 Years On
DESCRIPTION:The MOG Sunday session centres on Goa < 2075\, a dystopian political novel by Mayabhushan Nagvenkar\, set in a near-future Goa governed by a democratic corporation and driven by tourism and real estate testosterone. Written live and shared online simultaneously in English and Marathi between 2023 and 2025\, the novel draws on lived experience and reportage to imagine a not-so-distant future. \nThis MOG Sunday features Mayabhushan Nagvenkar — a former journalist and author whose writing draws on decades of reportage and lived experience in Goa — in conversation with Dr. Oscar Rebello\, a renowned medical practitioner\, socio-political commentator\, and former leader of the Goa Bachao Andolan. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSundays #Talk  #Goa2075 #PoliticalNovel #Future #Democratic #Tourism #RealEstate #Experience #Imagine #Author #Journalist #Conversation #Socio-Political #Leader #GoaBachaoAndolan

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

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Madhav Gadgil
DESCRIPTION:Gadgil speaks for nature by listening to it—to forests\, rivers\, hills\, and villages as living presences. He reminds us that ecology is inseparable from history\, politics\, and memory\, and that science without ethics forgets what truly matters. \nThis Sunday evening\, as we come together in remembrance\, we return to the questions Prof. Madhav Gadgil\, the people’s scientist\, teaches us to ask. \nFrom Goa and the Western Ghats to across India\, his work stands against extraction in the name of progress\, and for a democracy rooted in the land and its people. \nThis tribute meeting is organised by Goa Foundation and the Museum of Goa\, not just to honour his life\, but to carry forward the responsibility he leaves us with. \nOpen to All | Free Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 to register

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

SUMMARY:Maya- Mythology for the 21th Century Anand Gandhi and Zain memon in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:MAYA is an expansive narrative universe created by Anand Gandhi and Zain Memon\, unfolding across films\, games\, graphic novels\, novels\, toys\, and immersive experiences. \nIn the world of MAYA\, immortality exists as a commodity\, and every life functions as a data point within someone else’s design. It tells a story of chaos and control\, agency and prediction\, the powerful and the expendable. It explores how minds are shaped\, choices are nudged\, and futures are manufactured—systemically and invisibly. \nEach MAYA experience stands alone\, yet remains interconnected. As characters cross mediums\, their roles and meanings shift. A villain in a graphic novel may become the hero of a game. Taken together\, these experiences reveal a deeper structure\, one that reflects the systems we live within today. \nEqual parts science fiction\, philosophy\, and fantasy\, MAYA presents a new mythology for the 21st century—not of gods and monsters\, but of us. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666 \n#MuseumofGoa #MOGSundays #Talk #Films #Games #GraphicNovels #Novels #Toys #ImmersiveExperience #Immortality #Prediction #ChaosandControl #Future #ScienceFiction #Philosophy #Fantasy

SUMMARY:Goa in Film
DESCRIPTION:In its 10th year\, the Museum of Goa is proud to host ‘Goa in Film’\, a two-day Konkani Film Marathon\, curated by award-winning director Bardroy Barretto. \nGoa has always been a place where faith\, folklore\, and everyday life meet\, and where art becomes the bridge between them. This celebration honours that spirit. Through these films\, Konkani becomes more than a language\, it becomes a landscape. What is spoken carries into gesture\, silence\, emotion\, and light. \nAlongside the current exhibition\, The Festivals of Goa\, which explores the rituals\, intensity\, and contradictions that shape the Goan experience\, Goa in Film offers a contemporary lens. It highlights how Goans see themselves today and the stories they feel compelled to tell\, stories that are personal\, urgent\, and deeply local. \n🗓️ Dates: December 5th & 6th\, 2025\n📍 Venue: Museum of Goa\, Pilerne \nFREE FOR ALL \nFOR MORE DETAILS \nRSVP compulsory\nWhatsapp or call 7722089666 today!

SUMMARY:Tides and Time: Conversations between a father\, a daughter\, and the sea.
DESCRIPTION:There are men who learn from books\, and those who learn from the horizon. At seventeen\, when the tide of responsibility rose too soon\, Vivek Kandalgoankar left his studies and stepped into the sea. Now seventy-four\, he carries within him the rhythms of Goa’s fishing life\, a knowledge older than technology\, spoken in the dialect of tides\, wind\, and moonlight. \nIn Tides and Time\, his daughter\, photographer and storyteller Assavri Kulkarni\, joins him in conversation\, a dialogue between memory and documentation\, practice and perspective. What begins as a personal exchange between father and daughter widens into a meditation on heritage\, ecology\, and the fragile continuity of traditional knowledge. \nThis MOG Sundays conversation drifts between the practical and the poetic\, between the salt on one man’s hands and the lens through which his daughter reclaims their shared inheritance. In a world rushing toward speed\, they remind us that the moon still governs the sea\, and the sea still teaches those who listen. \n🗓 Date: Sunday\, 30th November\, 2025\n🕚 Time: 11:30 AM\n📍 Venue: Museum of Goa\, Plot No. 79\, Pilerne Industrial Estate\, Bardez \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666

SUMMARY:Delhi-Goa-Delhi: Journeys\, Stories\, People\, Change
DESCRIPTION:Shalini Singh\, co-founder and trustee of the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI)\, is an award-winning journalist recognised for her impactful reporting on environmental issues. She receives some of India’s highest journalism honours and is described by ELLE India as a fearless reporter who “will stop at nothing for the truth.” \nOver a decade ago\, her work brings her to Goa\, where an inquiry into unplanned tourism opens up deeper stories of illegal mining\, unequal development\, and even a mysterious shipwreck. Unexpected encounters\, shared meals\, and the generosity of local citizens shape a transformative professional and personal chapter\, despite the challenges of getting those stories published. Ten years later\, she turns her focus to Delhi’s most vulnerable farmers and fisherfolk facing climate change\, finding echoes of the same inequalities. \nFree Entry \nRSVP is compulsory\nPlease WhatsApp your name to 7722089666
