PEN@Prithvi/ 'Whose Culture Is It Anyway?'
Should an assault on a painter, or the suppression of a documentary film, or the disruption of a play, be of interest only to the arts community? Or should it be seen by citizens at large as an attack on freedom? A panel discussion on the aggressive claims being made by political interests on cultural activity; and the renewal of democracy by citizens' groups mobilizing the in the public sphere against such encroachments.
An eminent panel, including artist SUDHIR PATWARDHAN , theatre director VIJAY KENKRE, playwright MANASWINI, and activist-writer IRFAN ENGINEER , will address these issues.
Date: 11 August 2007 (Saturday)
Time: 6.30 pm
