Dr. Gautam Bhan
Join us for a thought-provoking session with urbanist Dr. Gautam Bhan where he explores the concept of the ‘public’ and how different groups shape and experience a city’s culture and sense of belonging.
This talk will investigate the dynamic relationship between public spaces and cultural identity. Dr. Bhan will examine how parks, streets, and communal areas serve as sites for unscripted interactions, both similar in experience and distinct in values. He will explore how these interactions trigger dialogue, shape a city’s culture.
Essential for anyone interested in the interplay between public spaces and the diverse cultures they nurture, this discussion will provide valuable insights into the broader urban experience. Dr. Bhan’s discourse will shed light on critical questions such as: Who does the city belong to? Who does it leave out? How do cultural encounters trigger dialogue and shape the collective experience of a city?
This event is fully booked.
