Kala Ghoda Arts Festival
Film (95 mins) screening. Directed by Sanjiv Shah — in collaboration with the State of Housing: Aspirations, Imaginaries and Realities in India exhibition, curated by Rahul Mehrotra, Kaiwan Mehta and Ranjit Hoskote — the film is produced by the Urban Design Research Institute and the Architecture Foundation, with support from the Tata Trusts.
Migration caused by poverty, calamities, civil strife and displacement due to ‘development’ projects have made India a country with one of the largest homeless populations in the world. The film argues for a broader and inclusive imagination around existence in villages, towns and cities, an imagination that respects the fundamental rights of the people and is rooted in the ecology of the land.
