POETRY OF DISSENT- N. VENUGPAL
Tue Nov 12, 7:00 PM
Dialogue towards an alternative
POETRY OF DISSENT - A TALK BY N. VENUGOPAL

Art always has been an integral part of people's struggles around the world and continues to be . Art in any form can convey the message to audience with ease. Art can also express dissent and voice out the concerns on social issues prevalent in our society. Poetry, a significant form of art plays prominent role in voicing dissent. Like Faiz said " a society without meaningful poetry is a society in the last legs of its wretched existence, a society bereft of dreams and thus a society bereft of hope."


In this times of political and economic uncertainty, the role of art and expression is more important than ever. India is going through a phase where space for dissent is shrinking. Cultural leaders – from filmmakers to cartoonists around the world are under threat, many were arrested, some were killed for expressing their ideas or showing any signs of dissent.

At this difficult times , it is important that our dissent in any form is expressed. To send a strong message to our rulers in authority that we have right
To defy
To disagree
To debate
To dissent

To Express
To enquire
And
To Exist
As dialogue towards an alternative has crossed one year, come let's be a part of this journey and sing songs of dissent.

Time - 08.00PM
Venue - Lamakaan, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.

Five people decide to put all their hard earned fortune in the hands of the most deserving person among themselves for the benefit of all and ask him to lead them with responsibility, that man takes advantage of their weakness and he not only exploits them but also degrades them with utter contempt ripping off their self-respect.

When the destiny of the blind is placed in the hands of a trusted confidant who offers them a ray of hope, those very hands, clouded by self-centered desires, push their lives into a state of despair. This play depicts a stark contrast between the lives of sighted people who are ‘Blinded’ by conceit and the visually impaired who ‘See’ this world with their hearts.

Anupam Kunapuli
Three struggling - in various degrees, beings were drifting by like autumn leaves until they were gently swept into the same corner where we happened to strike a conversation.
Lo and behold! We found concurrence to weave our distinct sound through subtle yet bumpy rhythms and melodies
A little bit about us:
- Shree Anupam Kunapuli, is the noble captain of our grand yet humble musical voyage (not so humble are the crew members!). He is an experienced jazz pianist with roots in Carnatic music.
- Master Nehal Raj Pradhan, is as wayward as the northern winds gushing through the pine trees. A hint of it comes forth in his musical influences especially when he hides behind the drums.
- Sire Aritro S. Ghosh, is an angry young man whose guitar portrays the colour of his conflicts. His guitar playing ranges from subtle seaside melodies to explosively picked licks. His musical arrangements speaks much about him.
We don’t have much to offer but our music.

POETRY OF DISSENT- N. VENUGPAL

Dialogue towards an alternative
POETRY OF DISSENT - A TALK BY N. VENUGOPAL

Art always has been an integral part of people's struggles around the world and continues to be . Art in any form can convey the message to audience with ease. Art can also express dissent and voice out the concerns on social issues prevalent in our society. Poetry, a significant form of art plays prominent role in voicing dissent. Like Faiz said " a society without meaningful poetry is a society in the last legs of its wretched existence, a society bereft of dreams and thus a society bereft of hope."


In this times of political and economic uncertainty, the role of art and expression is more important than ever. India is going through a phase where space for dissent is shrinking. Cultural leaders – from filmmakers to cartoonists around the world are under threat, many were arrested, some were killed for expressing their ideas or showing any signs of dissent.

At this difficult times , it is important that our dissent in any form is expressed. To send a strong message to our rulers in authority that we have right
To defy
To disagree
To debate
To dissent

To Express
To enquire
And
To Exist
As dialogue towards an alternative has crossed one year, come let's be a part of this journey and sing songs of dissent.

A girl learns the painful lesson of letting go of want and desire when her father insists on leaving her newfound stray dog. However, the ending of the film offers hope—another lesson of life being full of changes and the consequences of change may bring unexpected rewards.

Gollapudi Maruti Rao's "KALLU"
A Play in Telugu

Produced by Rathna Shekar
Directed by Rajashekar Kavali

Date - 14th & 15th Nov 2019
Time - 08.00PM
Venue - Lamakaan, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.

Five people decide to put all their hard earned fortune in the hands of the most deserving person among themselves for the benefit of all and ask him to lead them with responsibility, that man takes advantage of their weakness and he not only exploits them but also degrades them with utter contempt ripping off their self-respect.

When the destiny of the blind is placed in the hands of a trusted confidant who offers them a ray of hope, those very hands, clouded by self-centered desires, push their lives into a state of despair. This play depicts a stark contrast between the lives of sighted people who are ‘Blinded’ by conceit and the visually impaired who ‘See’ this world with their hearts.

The Anupam Kunapuli Trio
Fri Nov 22, 8:30 PM
Anupam Kunapuli
Three struggling - in various degrees, beings were drifting by like autumn leaves until they were gently swept into the same corner where we happened to strike a conversation.
Lo and behold! We found concurrence to weave our distinct sound through subtle yet bumpy rhythms and melodies
A little bit about us:
- Shree Anupam Kunapuli, is the noble captain of our grand yet humble musical voyage (not so humble are the crew members!). He is an experienced jazz pianist with roots in Carnatic music.
- Master Nehal Raj Pradhan, is as wayward as the northern winds gushing through the pine trees. A hint of it comes forth in his musical influences especially when he hides behind the drums.
- Sire Aritro S. Ghosh, is an angry young man whose guitar portrays the colour of his conflicts. His guitar playing ranges from subtle seaside melodies to explosively picked licks. His musical arrangements speaks much about him.
We don’t have much to offer but our music.
