Stories from Behind Prison walls
Sun Jun 14, 4:00 PM
Lamakaan Lecture Series
LAMAKAAN LECTURE SERIES

invites you to

A Lecture on

"Stories from Behind the Walls of Prisons: A sorry state of Indian prison system"
by

Arun Ferreira

About the topic:

The life on the other side of the wall is very different. The prisoners are made to feel like slaves and each one is at the mercy of the authorities. The Indian prison system perpetuates many of the injustices of the penal system set up by the British. For example, inmates of foreign origin or of high caste and social status are routinely imprisoned under relatively better conditions and segregated from those inmates who are poorer and of lower social position. Tribal and Dalit inmates are subject to various forms of abuse, ranging from the denial of visitors and refusal to provide medical care, to prolonged labor, sexual harassment, rape and “concealed” physical and mental torture. Many of India’s prisons date back to the era of British colonial rule, with thousands of prisoners kept in crumbling facilities largely unchanged since the beginning of the last century. The only major all-Indian prison reform ever implemented dates back to the Indian Jails Committee of 1919-1920. This lecture dispels myths, misconceptions and many claims of reforms by the authorities and gives a personal account of the speaker on the gory, plight and merciful conditions of the Indian prisons.

Brief note about Arun Ferreira:

Arun Ferreira is an Indian political activist and cartoonist based in Mumbai. In 2007, he was branded as the leader of the propaganda and communications wing of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist). He was acquitted of all charges in 2014. Arun Ferreira was a free man. He reveals the horrors he faced in prison and describes how several others are facing similar situations all around India. He is the author of several articles and books. His recent book “Colors of the Cage: A Prison Memoir” is an eye-witness account of life in an Indian prison.

Khayal Darpan - A film screening
Sun Jun 14, 7:00 PM
Hyderabad Urban Lab
Lamakaan and Hyd Urban Lab invites you for an evening of film screening "Khayal Darpan - A Mirror of Imagination" by Yousuf Saeed.

Khayal Darpan, divided into four parts, totaling a 100 minutes, starts by exploring Pakistan's melodic past, especially in Lahore where south Asia's most famous musicians of early 20th century performed in large concerts as well as small baithaks (homely gatherings) and takias (shrines). It talks about the legendary Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Raushanara Begum, and Nazakat-Salamat Ali, and their discerning local audience who could not be pleased by any substandard music. The partition of India changed the scenario drastically as hundreds of musician families migrated from India to Pakistan, while many Hindu and Sikh patrons of music migrated the other way around. The film looks at the innovative ways in which the musicians struggled to keep their art alive for the new generations.

Synopsis:
While much of the literature on the Partition of India provides disturbing accounts of separation and violence, very little academic research has been done on its impact on the material culture of South Asia, especially the arts, music and other traditional forms. Since the apparent justification for the Partition, the ‘two-nation theory’, recognized Hindus and Muslims as two dissimilar communities unlikely to coexist, it was popularly assumed that the Indian Muslims migrating to Pakistan took with them whatever “belonged” to them, leaving behind the “purer” culture of the Hindus in India. As it seemed like the closing of a chapter on cultural co-existence, new chapters had to be written on both sides of the border to sort out what belonged to whom. North Indian classical music, along with other traditional cultural forms, had to bear the brunt of this tug of war, since it represented one of the most vigorous examples of cultural plurality, besides being practiced abundantly in the regions affected by the Partition.

Yousuf Saeed, an Indian filmmaker from Delhi, visited Pakistan in 2005 on research fellowship to explore the impact of 1947 partition on the cultural traditions, especially the classical music of the region. Spending over 5 month traveling through Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad - interviewing musicians and scholars, attending music concerts, and observing the teaching of music in various institutions, Yousuf not only managed to document some of the surviving practitioners and patrons of art music, but also raised many vital questions about cultural identity, nationalism, legitimacy of music in Islam, Pakistan's popular culture and its affairs with India, and the survival of classical music itself in South Asia. The result is a feature-length documentary film, Khayal Darpan, highlighting some well-known as well as many lesser known but talented musicians of Pakistan, breaking many stereotypes about the country.

About the Filmmaker:
Graduating from Jamia Millia’s Mass Communication Research Centre (Delhi), Yousuf Saeed started his career in television with the Times TV (Times of India) in 1990, co-directing the science series Turning Point. Later, Yousuf directed many documentary films for Doordarshan and other institutions, including a series on Ladakh and one on the Sufi poet Amir Khusrau. His short films Basant, The Train to Heaven and others have been shown at prestigious international venues such as the universities of Harvard, Boston, Columbia, Chicago, Texas (in the US) and of Heidelberg (Germany), and Vienna (Austria). His other recent films are Qasba Sanskriti: Amroha, Making of the Taj, and Khusrau Darya Prem Ka, among others. He also wrote the illustrated book Muslim Devotional Art in India (Routledge, 2012).

Brief note about Amit Deshwal:

Amit Deshwal graduated from IIT Madras in 2008 and joined the private equity arm of World Bank. Inspired by Tagore's and Tolstoy's thoughts on education, he quit his job a year later to start a learning space for children. He spent nearly three years travelling around the country learning from different spaces that were trying to understand meaning of education beyond formal schooling and volunteering there for his sustenance. These three years that he spent both in solitude and living with diverse communities were the ones, he believes, when his real education began. He spent his last three years working with a small alternative learning space in Hyderabad called Centre for Learning. While his quest continues, he now spends time working with a group of children who chose not to follow the regular schooling pattern. You could read more about his learnings and his thoughts here at earthisnotround.wordpress.com.

Aakali Rajyam - Film screening
Wed Jul 1, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan program committee
Inviting all for a five day "CounterCulture Film Festival" at Lamakaan. As a part of this, there will be screenings of films that have shown 'a way of life and set of attitudes opposed to or at variance with the prevailing social norm'.

Today's screening is a Telugu masterpiece 'Aakali Rajyam" that showcased the agonising 80s with India at cross roads - to chose between Tradition Vs Progression.

An amazing movie from an amazing director K. Balachander. His characterisation of an unemployed, multilingual, straight-forward, honest and a sincere person in the shallow, twisted world based on favoritism and "corporateised" world has been played to perfection by kamal Hasan. His recitation of SriSri's lines and their timing couldn't have been better tribute to the socialist poet. This is a tribute to doyens like Director KB, writer Ganesh Patro, Poet Sri Sri. MS Viswanathan, Acharya Athreya and thespian Kamal himself and other Techinicians.

Aakali Rajyam dwells on the premises of social satire and through its characters, critically analyzes the state of Indian polity and social situation.

Lamakaan program committee
"In Custody" by Ismail Merchant is one man's struggle to preserve the works of a waning intellectual.

Deven (Om Puri), a teacher who loves Urdu poetry, is asked by a local newspaper editor to interview poet Nur (Shashi Kapoor) Shahjehanabadi, an aging whale of a man. Deven goes to Bhopal from Mirpur to meet Nur, of whom he is in awe. He finds him living with feuding wives, visited by sycophants who drink his whisky, eat his food and use his hospitality. Deven wants to record Nur for posterity against many odds.
These include seeking funds to buy an aged tape recorder, to bribing Safiya, the elder wife of the poet, to get Nur into a room at a brothel for a week for the recording, and of course feeding Nur's many pals who show up from time to time. Nur's beautiful second wife, Imtiaz, too wants to be taken seriously as a poetess. Dever dismisses her. In the process, our Dev succeeds in ignoring his own wife and child much as Nur does.

In the end, what is preserved? What is in his Custody?

All are welcome for this gem made from a novel by Anita Desai by Merchant Ivory Productions.

Sat Jul 4, 4:00 PM

Troublemaking duo Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, posing as their industrious alter-egos, expose the people profiting from Hurricane Katrina, the faces behind the environmental disaster in Bhopal, and other shocking events.

Inviting all for a five day "CounterCulture Film Festival" at Lamakaan from Wed-Sun 1-5 July. As a part of this, there will be screenings of films that have shown 'a way of life and set of attitudes opposed to or at variance with the prevailing social norm'.

This day's screening is a documentary "The Yes Men Fix the World" by Andy Bichlbaum, Mike Bonanno and Kurt Engfehr.

The Yes Men are a culture jamming activist duo and network of supporters created by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos. Through actions of tactical media, the Yes Men primarily aim to raise awareness about what they consider problematic social issues. To date, the duo has produced three films: The Yes Men (2003), The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) and The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). In these films, they impersonate entities that they dislike, a practice that they call "identity correction". The Yes Men operate under the mission statement that lies can expose truth. They create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they intend to spoof, which have led to numerous interview, conference, and TV talk show invitations. They espouse the belief that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizing ways toward the public.

Creation - An Eng film screening
Sun Jul 5, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan program committee
Creation is a 2009 British biographical drama film about Charles Darwin's relationship with his wife Emma and his memory of their eldest daughter Annie, as he struggles to write On the Origin of Species. The film, directed by Jon Amiel and starring real life couple Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly as Charles and Emma Darwin, is a partly biographical, partly fictionalised account, based on Randal Keynes's Darwin biography Annie's Box.

Naturalist Charles Darwin struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with his religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.

This film thus is a perfect foil to end our week long CounterCulture film festival - with a rationalist who stood against the absurdity of religion and blind faith.

Stories from Behind Prison walls
Sun Jun 14, 4:00 PM
Lamakaan Lecture Series
LAMAKAAN LECTURE SERIES

invites you to

A Lecture on

"Stories from Behind the Walls of Prisons: A sorry state of Indian prison system"
by

Arun Ferreira

About the topic:

The life on the other side of the wall is very different. The prisoners are made to feel like slaves and each one is at the mercy of the authorities. The Indian prison system perpetuates many of the injustices of the penal system set up by the British. For example, inmates of foreign origin or of high caste and social status are routinely imprisoned under relatively better conditions and segregated from those inmates who are poorer and of lower social position. Tribal and Dalit inmates are subject to various forms of abuse, ranging from the denial of visitors and refusal to provide medical care, to prolonged labor, sexual harassment, rape and “concealed” physical and mental torture. Many of India’s prisons date back to the era of British colonial rule, with thousands of prisoners kept in crumbling facilities largely unchanged since the beginning of the last century. The only major all-Indian prison reform ever implemented dates back to the Indian Jails Committee of 1919-1920. This lecture dispels myths, misconceptions and many claims of reforms by the authorities and gives a personal account of the speaker on the gory, plight and merciful conditions of the Indian prisons.

Brief note about Arun Ferreira:

Arun Ferreira is an Indian political activist and cartoonist based in Mumbai. In 2007, he was branded as the leader of the propaganda and communications wing of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist). He was acquitted of all charges in 2014. Arun Ferreira was a free man. He reveals the horrors he faced in prison and describes how several others are facing similar situations all around India. He is the author of several articles and books. His recent book “Colors of the Cage: A Prison Memoir” is an eye-witness account of life in an Indian prison.

Khayal Darpan - A film screening
Sun Jun 14, 7:00 PM
Hyderabad Urban Lab
Lamakaan and Hyd Urban Lab invites you for an evening of film screening "Khayal Darpan - A Mirror of Imagination" by Yousuf Saeed.

Khayal Darpan, divided into four parts, totaling a 100 minutes, starts by exploring Pakistan's melodic past, especially in Lahore where south Asia's most famous musicians of early 20th century performed in large concerts as well as small baithaks (homely gatherings) and takias (shrines). It talks about the legendary Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Raushanara Begum, and Nazakat-Salamat Ali, and their discerning local audience who could not be pleased by any substandard music. The partition of India changed the scenario drastically as hundreds of musician families migrated from India to Pakistan, while many Hindu and Sikh patrons of music migrated the other way around. The film looks at the innovative ways in which the musicians struggled to keep their art alive for the new generations.

Synopsis:
While much of the literature on the Partition of India provides disturbing accounts of separation and violence, very little academic research has been done on its impact on the material culture of South Asia, especially the arts, music and other traditional forms. Since the apparent justification for the Partition, the ‘two-nation theory’, recognized Hindus and Muslims as two dissimilar communities unlikely to coexist, it was popularly assumed that the Indian Muslims migrating to Pakistan took with them whatever “belonged” to them, leaving behind the “purer” culture of the Hindus in India. As it seemed like the closing of a chapter on cultural co-existence, new chapters had to be written on both sides of the border to sort out what belonged to whom. North Indian classical music, along with other traditional cultural forms, had to bear the brunt of this tug of war, since it represented one of the most vigorous examples of cultural plurality, besides being practiced abundantly in the regions affected by the Partition.

Yousuf Saeed, an Indian filmmaker from Delhi, visited Pakistan in 2005 on research fellowship to explore the impact of 1947 partition on the cultural traditions, especially the classical music of the region. Spending over 5 month traveling through Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad - interviewing musicians and scholars, attending music concerts, and observing the teaching of music in various institutions, Yousuf not only managed to document some of the surviving practitioners and patrons of art music, but also raised many vital questions about cultural identity, nationalism, legitimacy of music in Islam, Pakistan's popular culture and its affairs with India, and the survival of classical music itself in South Asia. The result is a feature-length documentary film, Khayal Darpan, highlighting some well-known as well as many lesser known but talented musicians of Pakistan, breaking many stereotypes about the country.

About the Filmmaker:
Graduating from Jamia Millia’s Mass Communication Research Centre (Delhi), Yousuf Saeed started his career in television with the Times TV (Times of India) in 1990, co-directing the science series Turning Point. Later, Yousuf directed many documentary films for Doordarshan and other institutions, including a series on Ladakh and one on the Sufi poet Amir Khusrau. His short films Basant, The Train to Heaven and others have been shown at prestigious international venues such as the universities of Harvard, Boston, Columbia, Chicago, Texas (in the US) and of Heidelberg (Germany), and Vienna (Austria). His other recent films are Qasba Sanskriti: Amroha, Making of the Taj, and Khusrau Darya Prem Ka, among others. He also wrote the illustrated book Muslim Devotional Art in India (Routledge, 2012).

Learning?Yes.Education?No Thanks
Sun Jun 28, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan Lecture Series
Learning? Yes, of Course. Education? No Thanks"
A talk by Amit Deshwal.

Lecture followed Q & A and discussion

About the topic:

Every child and every culture is unique. If we wish to retain this uniqueness in the children, we need to treat them with love, respect them as unique individuals, give them time and space, help them see the world through their own eyes and support them where they seek help to find their own meaning of life. In his talk, Amit Deshwal wishes to explore how the present education system is adversely affecting the diversity of life and uniqueness of being.

Brief note about Amit Deshwal:

Amit Deshwal graduated from IIT Madras in 2008 and joined the private equity arm of World Bank. Inspired by Tagore's and Tolstoy's thoughts on education, he quit his job a year later to start a learning space for children. He spent nearly three years travelling around the country learning from different spaces that were trying to understand meaning of education beyond formal schooling and volunteering there for his sustenance. These three years that he spent both in solitude and living with diverse communities were the ones, he believes, when his real education began. He spent his last three years working with a small alternative learning space in Hyderabad called Centre for Learning. While his quest continues, he now spends time working with a group of children who chose not to follow the regular schooling pattern. You could read more about his learnings and his thoughts here at earthisnotround.wordpress.com.

Aakali Rajyam - Film screening
Wed Jul 1, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan program committee
Inviting all for a five day "CounterCulture Film Festival" at Lamakaan. As a part of this, there will be screenings of films that have shown 'a way of life and set of attitudes opposed to or at variance with the prevailing social norm'.

Today's screening is a Telugu masterpiece 'Aakali Rajyam" that showcased the agonising 80s with India at cross roads - to chose between Tradition Vs Progression.

An amazing movie from an amazing director K. Balachander. His characterisation of an unemployed, multilingual, straight-forward, honest and a sincere person in the shallow, twisted world based on favoritism and "corporateised" world has been played to perfection by kamal Hasan. His recitation of SriSri's lines and their timing couldn't have been better tribute to the socialist poet. This is a tribute to doyens like Director KB, writer Ganesh Patro, Poet Sri Sri. MS Viswanathan, Acharya Athreya and thespian Kamal himself and other Techinicians.

Aakali Rajyam dwells on the premises of social satire and through its characters, critically analyzes the state of Indian polity and social situation.

Deven (Om Puri), a teacher who loves Urdu poetry, is asked by a local newspaper editor to interview poet Nur (Shashi Kapoor) Shahjehanabadi, an aging whale of a man. Deven goes to Bhopal from Mirpur to meet Nur, of whom he is in awe. He finds him living with feuding wives, visited by sycophants who drink his whisky, eat his food and use his hospitality. Deven wants to record Nur for posterity against many odds.
These include seeking funds to buy an aged tape recorder, to bribing Safiya, the elder wife of the poet, to get Nur into a room at a brothel for a week for the recording, and of course feeding Nur's many pals who show up from time to time. Nur's beautiful second wife, Imtiaz, too wants to be taken seriously as a poetess. Dever dismisses her. In the process, our Dev succeeds in ignoring his own wife and child much as Nur does.

The Yes Men are a culture jamming activist duo and network of supporters created by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos. Through actions of tactical media, the Yes Men primarily aim to raise awareness about what they consider problematic social issues. To date, the duo has produced three films: The Yes Men (2003), The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) and The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). In these films, they impersonate entities that they dislike, a practice that they call "identity correction". The Yes Men operate under the mission statement that lies can expose truth. They create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they intend to spoof, which have led to numerous interview, conference, and TV talk show invitations. They espouse the belief that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizing ways toward the public.

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen from London Bridge to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. He fiercely guards his anonymity to avoid prosecution. An eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker Guetta attempts to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner. Includes footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, "It's basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.

Creation - An Eng film screening
Sun Jul 5, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan program committee
Creation is a 2009 British biographical drama film about Charles Darwin's relationship with his wife Emma and his memory of their eldest daughter Annie, as he struggles to write On the Origin of Species. The film, directed by Jon Amiel and starring real life couple Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly as Charles and Emma Darwin, is a partly biographical, partly fictionalised account, based on Randal Keynes's Darwin biography Annie's Box.

Naturalist Charles Darwin struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with his religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.

This film thus is a perfect foil to end our week long CounterCulture film festival - with a rationalist who stood against the absurdity of religion and blind faith.

This is aprt of the 5 day CounterCulture film festival at Lamakaan from Wed-Sun 1-5 Jul.

All are welcome.
