[Reader-list] [Announcements] cultural festival

[lalit batra]

Dear
We at Hazards Centre warmly invite you for our cultural festival, *
shehar.com *on *'lives in a changing city**'*. It would comprise street
theatre, music performances and exhibitions by urban poor community groups
across Delhi, along with student and independent groups.



The festival would be inaugurated by celebrated artist and activist
*Naseeruddin
Shah.*



Date*: Feb 4-5. 2006 *

Venue: *Ampitheatre, India Habitat Centre*

*Time: 11 AM to 6 PM*



The assorted cultural expressions such as exhibitions and installations
would be geared towards raising certain crucial questions of our
contemporary cities : whether world-class city development is all about
constructing sanitized, concretized, privatized and commercialized spaces?
Or does it also embrace 'world-class' habitats, livelihoods and basic
services for the majority *citi*zens, who in effect build and run these
cities? What is their stake in the overall vision of urban tranformation?



We feel it pertinent that the larger, non-priveleged 'citizenry' find an
opportunity to voice in the public domain their ideas and imaginations on
the social and physical transformations of their spaces.



Attached here is the invite and the schedule!


Warm Regards

Lalit Batra
