We're interested in how the ideas of people, power and place intersect in different settings, and have begun to explore these dynamics in India.
The project is guided by three principles:
The project is guided by three principles:
COLLABORATIVE
Remembering Resistance is organic and collaborative. We're starting slowly, building a network of academics, activists, artists and community organisations in India and the UK to explore the ideas Remembering Resistance is concerned with to see where it takes us.
|
CREATIVE
As the network develops, we
want to experiment with creative ways of developing and testing ideas. The ambition is to think differently about how protest, power, and place interact in contemporary India in ways that help reduce conflict and increase cooperation. |
TRANSDISCIPLINARY
The project is transdisciplinary and participatory. It is a space where knowledge from different disciplines collides with expertise rooted in lived experience, community knowledge, and artistic inspiration and pursues what emerges from these interactions.

Workshop
In July 2018 we held a workshop at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi which brought together around 20 academics, doctoral students, activists and creatives interested in place-protest relations to explore ideas, share insights, and build a vision for the project's future. The day was filled with powerful and insightful discussion which revealed the complex nature of protest dynamics in India. You can see more about the event in the following presentation.
NETWORK DEVELOPMENT
|
We're building a network of people who share an interest in protest, power, and place so we can discuss ideas and develop a vision for the project in India. If you're interested in being involved, get in touch and we'll organise a time to speak. |
If you want to be involved, we'd love to hear from you so get in touch.
