About the PUKAR MONSOON:

Educational institutions are neglected as environments for reflection 
and criticism on contemporary society. Pedagogic interventions are 
important to a new generation of urban youth, whose critical 
understandings of society are formed in the spaces of the 
undergraduate college. In a spirit of engagement with these 
relatively unexplored spaces and voices, the PUKAR Monsoon this year 
focussed on the theme of "The City at Work: Looking at Livelihoods 
and Ways of Belonging". We hope that reflection on the history and 
economics of life in the city will help students cultivate critical 
sensibilities about the market, at a pre-professional stage in their 
lives. The series of events in the PUKAR Monsoon this year used the 
idea of livelihood or work as the entry point for student 
participation in small activities or documentation projects, on how 
identities of class and culture are changing in the context of 
globalisation in Mumbai.

The colleges which participated in the PUKAR Monsoon 2002 were Kamala 
Raheja Vidhyandihi Institute of Architecture (Juhu), Abhinav College 
of Arts and Commerce (Bhayander), Srimathi P.N. Doshi College 
(Ghatkopar), K.C. College (Churchgate), Wilson College (Chowpatty), 
Sophia Polytechnic (Breach Candy), Rizvi College (Bandra) and MALHAR, 
St Xavier's College (Dhobi Talao). PUKAR Associates who conducted the 
sessions were Himanshu Burte, Paromita Vohra, Gomathy 
Balasubramanian, Shilpa Phadke, Abhay Sardesai. Others who conducted 
sessions were Nirupa Bhangar, Lakshmi Lingam, Mrinal Desai, Vikas 
Sharma, Sanjay Bhangar, Svati Shah, and Arafaat Amin Valiani.

About PUKAR @ The Paperie:

This discussion, and future gatherings focused on discussing issues 
of common interest and concern to the PUKAR Associates, is part of a 
monthly programme organised by PUKAR for invited friends and guests 
at The Bombay Paperie, Fort. These gatherings are usually held on the 
third or fourth Saturday of every month at 6.00 p.m. PUKAR thanks the 
Manager of The Bombay Paperie, Neeta Premchand, for hosting PUKAR @ 
The Bombay Paperie. We look forward to your attendance and 
participation, and suggesting names of people and organisations to 
add to our mailing list.
