This two day journey explores social consciousness through the arts.
This programme is designed to engage with senior students
to address some of our responses to the violence against women.
Every time an atrocity like December 16 or Badaun takes place,
we respond with outrage and anger.
As we should.
We join marches and demonstrations.
As we should.
We sign petitions.
As we should.
We lobby for better laws and better enforcement.
As we should.
But what about art and artistic interventions?
Join us for an artistic response
to the increasingly ever more brutal attacks on women.

Day 1, December 8, 2014:
A response through poetry: Performers from Ranan along with actor/poet Baisali Chatterjee Dutt will read, perform and facilitate students responses to news about acts of violence.
Day 2, December 9 / 10, 2014:
A response though theatre: Actors from Jana Natya Manch, Delhi will do a series of improvisations around the theme of the violence against women. These improvisations, it is hoped, will act as 'provocations' for us to talk, share, think through, and articulate our responses. |
