Exhibition I Talks I Films

Organised in collaboration with Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, the exhibition is curated on the premise that borders are man-made delineations, based on nothing but arbitrary decisions that nevertheless exert a massive, sometimes gruesome impact on individuals. The exhibition includes works by artists across international borders and will be on view at the IIC, Bikaner House and Vadehra Art Gallery simultaneously

On view at the IIC are works by André Lüzen, Amar Kanwar, Eva Leitolf, Kimsooja and Roman Signer

The Migration Crisis in Europe

Four talks by Mark Terkessidis, Berlin; Dr. Aladin El-Mafaalani, Duisburg; Vaiju Naravane, Delhi

Moderator: Aman Sethi

Migration is an inescapable reality of the history of civilization. In the context of the contemporary European refugee crisis, the talks will examine who the people arriving on Europe’s shores are, and whether they are refugees or migrants. The discussants will confront questions about the current crisis and whether basic concepts of nationality, citizenship, rights or even – the nation state need to be revisited. Where should Europe look when seeking answers to these pressing questions?

Films

A curated package of films will explore the migratory phenomena while focusing on themes of identity, nation-state and nationhood. The films will be screened at Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan

Films to be screened include Haunted (Dir.: Limaa Yazji); Meteorstrasse/Meteor Street (Dir.: Aline Fischer); and Jahaji Music (Dir.: Surabhi Sharma)
