‘Freedom Before 11’

 

Date: Friday, August 6, 2004  

 

Time:  6 pm

 

Venue:  Max Mueller Bhavan Auditorium 

   Kala Ghoda

   Next to Jehangir Art Gallery 

   Mumbai 

 

The film focuses on the ways in which women who live in hostels are perceived and the ways in which women negotiate hostel life in the city. The film aims to engage ideas about women’s ‘place’ in the city and the ‘protection’ of ‘reputations of both ‘good’ women and ‘good’ women’s hostels. 

 

The film is located in the broader context of the Gender & Space project which seeks to explore the ways by which women experience public spaces, accessing them against all odds, transforming the very nature of urban life in the process. 

 

The film will be followed by a discussion led by Arundhathi Subramanium, poet and co-ordinator of Chauraha, NCPA.
