Goethe Darbaar: Cities Within

Is a city a place, its people, or its memories? How much of who we are, what we create is influenced by where we come from, where we’ve been? Do we carry our cities within?

In conversation with podcaster Lakshya Datta, we welcome writer and journalist Taran Khan to talk about travel, memories, and the art and artists they influence. Join us for this session accompanied by music and poetry by Afghan artists. Register for the Event Day/Date: Friday, 11.11.2022
Time: 6:00 PM
Venue: Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan
