The G5A Foundation and Seagull Books have collaborated to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of the Bengali legend Mahasweta Devi. The event will consist of a screening of Talking Writing, a documentary directed by Pushan Kripalani, featuring the writer in conversation with author and theatre practitioner Naveen Kishore. It will be followed by a performance by Kishore and Anubha Fatehpuria and a conversation with Kripalani. The ‘performative’ aspect, Kishore tells us, is “to extend the older time of the film into this newer time by voicing on stage our memories and reading from her writing”.
