SUMMARY:Ascetic Journeys: Exploring Jain Life in Museums\, Exhibitions and 
 Films
DESCRIPTION:Drone view of Varanga Jain temple\, Varanga\, Karnataka\, 2021.
 \n\nThe series of films\, Asceticism – a day in the life of…\, Vihara 
 – a path to salvation\, and The Crow and the Palm Fruit\, showcases the 
 lives of ascetic monks and nuns from the Jain community in South and Centr
 al India. They give an insight into their lived ascetic practices of pilgr
 image\, renunciation\, non-violence and Sallekhana or the practice of volu
 ntary fasting unto death. Filmed over a period of two years (2020 - 2022)\
 , across four states of India\, the films were conceived specifically for 
 the exhibition\, Being Jain: Art and Culture of an Indian Religion by Muse
 um Rietberg\, Zurich in collaboration with Green Barbet\, India.\n\nThe fi
 lm screenings will be followed by an informal conversation by Dr. Johannes
  Beltz\, Deputy Director and Curator of South Asian art at the Museum Riet
 berg\, Zurich\, and Harsha Vinay\, Co-curator and Director\, Green Barbet 
 India Ltd\, with an audience Q&amp\;A. \n\nThe film screenings have been 
 curated under Living Cultures\, MAP’s public programming theme for the q
 uarter. Through this theme\, we explore the practices and evolution of cul
 tures: shaping identity\, representing beliefs\, but also reimagined and r
 evived by new encounters and changing contexts.
