Art meets literature: the novel Uprooted by Indian author Alka Saraogi
Monday, 01.07.24 at 19:00 – 21:00
Reading and discussion with the author, the translator Prof. Dr. Almuth Degener, University of Mainz, and the co-curator of the exhibition Nicola E. Petek;
Moderation: Dr. Ines Fornell, Seminar for Indology and Tibetology at the University of Göttingen;
in cooperation with the Literaturforum Indien e. V.
This new novel of contemporary Indian literature, which has just been published in a direct German translation, deals literarily with the theme of the exhibition TERRA DIASPORA – Welten Wandeln: in the world of East and West Bengal, characterized by pogroms against people of other faiths after the partition of the subcontinent at the end of British colonial rule over India, the story of Kulbhushan unfolds, who, as a refugee between home and new beginnings, remains an uprooted person and at the same time shows unexpected strengths. The author’s poetic language allows us to experience this story in all its contradictions in an emotionally moving way.
The exhibition can of course be viewed both before and after the reading event; the co-curator Nicola Petek will be available from 18:30 to 19:00 and from around 21:00 to 21:30 to answer questions and talk about the works on display in the exhibition.
We will be happy to receive your pre-registration at: info@kunstvereingoettingen.de or +49 (0) 551 – 44 8 99
