Art has always has been and still continues to be an integral part of people’s struggles around the world. Any form of art can convey the artist’s feelings to the audience with ease. Art can also be a form of Dissent to respond to social issues and voice out to the struggles we face in our society.
Poetry is one of the most significant form of art. Also it is most significant form of 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 a time of political and economic uncertainty, the role of art and expression has never been more important. India is going through this phase now. The space for dissent is shrinking. Cultural leaders – from filmmakers to cartoonists around the world are under threat, with many arrested or even killed for expressing their ideas and 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. On 12. 11.2019, 7pm at lamakaan
