Join us for a conversation by Jeet Thayil moderated by Joshua Muyiwa and Samyuktha Varma. Singing in the Dark: Art Against Genocide brings forth conversations that make us think, make us question and make us human. We ponder, or rather assert, the role of art, as resistance, as hope, as resilience during times of crisis. Thayil’s and Muyiwa’s poetry enriches the conversation as Varma adds depth to our thoughts.
This is in collaboration with Ananya Drishya.
