S26/27 Opening Weekend: Hope as Practice

As G5A enters its 11th year, we begin a new season by renewing and deepening our belief in the power of art and culture to change how we think, how we live, and how we see each other.

Season 11 continues our exploration of Hope as Practice, considering how we speak, what we choose to listen to, and the different ways people respond to the world around them.

On October 02, the birth anniversary of Gandhiji, the International Day of Non-Violence, and the 120th year anniversary of the Satyagraha movement, we reflect on the power of collective voices, peaceful protests, and hope as a practice.

We begin with Threads of Resistance: a charkha-spinning workshop in the study, before gathering in the Black Box for an evening of performance and conversations.

17:00 onwards

Bearing Witness
A conversation with Kalpana Sharma, Srishti Mehra, and Rajni Bakshi on independent journalism, press freedom, and what it takes to keep the news alive and honest when the conditions are this difficult.

Hope in the Time of Dissent 
A conversation with Shabana Azmi and Anuradha SenGupta, touching on decades of activism, non-violence, resilience, and hope.

Come for an evening, spend the whole weekend with us, or simply drop in when you can.
