Shared ideas and diverse viewpoints can invigorate\, transform\, build bridges. Find solutions to the most intractable problems. \nCommitted to this ideal\, the Night of Ideas is a unique platform that was initiated in 2016 during an exceptional evening in Paris\, when foremost French and international thinkers were invited to come together to discuss the major issues of our time. Since then\, the Night of Ideas has grown to become a prestigious fixture on the international calendar. \nHosted across 200 cities\, 100 countries\, and 5 continents. From Paris to New York. Fiji Islands to New Zealand. Seoul to Shanghai. New Delhi to New Mexico. The Night of Ideas brings together front-line minds interconnected by a common purpose — on one day\, to celebrate the power of thought. \nThis year\, the theme is intriguingly titled More? and the Indian edition of the Night of Ideas will be focusing on the crucial\, fundamental\, and fascinating world of food in all its dimensions: the pleasure\, the politics\, people\, palates\, plurality. And the all-important questions of equity\, sustainability\, and security. \nA few facts to indicate the scale of what’s at stake: India is the second largest food producer in the world. Almost half of India’s 130 billion people\, that’s close to 700 million people\, are engaged in farming. 67% of which are women. Yet\, while they feed the country and keep us safe\, they add only 18% to the GDP\, and 76% of farmers want to give up farming. Women — the spine of all of this — own only 2% of the land. \nSo how can these inequities be corrected? Are GM crops the route? Or are organics the answer? How can we\, as consumers of food\, make the food chain more  robust? How can Indian agriculture become India’s greatest success story? \nAnd what of its rich and diverse cuisines. The exhilarating stories\, spices\, and history of food in India? \nA Night of Chefs & Ideas will bring together the kaleidoscopic story of food in India – with French accents. \nChefs. Experts. Policy makers. Historians. Economists. And practitioners. Come together for a night of creative thinking. \nExciting. Riveting. Thought-provoking..\nJoin us 
 \n\nFor more debate. More diversity. More proximity.\nMore solutions. More bridges. More stories.\nAnd a delicious\, specially curated\, dinner by a French chef from the Indian countryside.\n\nProgramme:\n6 pm – 6.30 pm: Welcome drinks and Night of Ideas Mela \n6.30 pm – 6.35 pm: Welcome Address by French Ambassador H.E.

Anne is a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her. But when she falls pregnant\, she sees the opportunity to finish her studies and escape the constraints of her social background disappearing. With her final exams fast approaching and her belly growing\, Anne resolves to act\, even if she has to confront shame and pain\, even if she must risk prison to do so
 \nAnnie Ernaux is the author of twenty books with Éditions Gallimard\, including La Place/A Man’s Place (Prix Renaudot 1984)\, Passion simple/Simple Passion (1991)\, L’ÉvĂ©nement/Happening (2000\, made into film by Audrey Diwan in 2021)\, Les AnnĂ©es/The Years (2008\, nominated for the Man Booker International Prize 2019) and MĂ©moire de fille/A Girl’s Story (2016). Her books have been gathered in a collection entitled Écrire la vie (2011). \nHer writing\, heavily influenced by autobiography\, has strong connections to sociology. “Ernaux’s work is uncompromising and written in plain language\, scraped clean. And when she with great courage and clinical acuity reveals the agony of the experience of class\, describing shame\, humiliation\, jealousy or inability to see who you are\, she has achieved something admirable and enduring” says the Swedish Academy. \nStep out and enjoy this event\n\nFebruary 27 | 6:30 PM \n\n\n\n\nFilm Screening | Q&A \n\n\n\n\n\nAlliance Française de Delhi \n\n\nFree Entry.

He studied at the Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship and later pursued a master’s degree from Banaras Hindu University. He uses sculptural dresses to reveal his emotions and desires. His work has been recognized in several exhibitions and has won various awards\, including the Allegro Main Prize and lnlaks Fine Art Award. His work is showcased as part of the Artist-in-Residence program at the India Art Fair 2023. \nME WITH MY PETPerformance“Metaphorically a pet or imaginary friend is my memory whom I am always carrying with me. In my lonely fantastic world\, I am continually having conversations with them. In a way\, pets are my other internal self. This idea arises from the distance that is created in personal relationships. In this work\, I want to understand how someone’s memories internally create a form and love it like a pet\, and a new story of life is created. \nIn this project\, the sculptural dresses as well as freestanding sculptures represent my internal body and various imagined non-human forms. The dresses were made in Varanasi and the first durational live performance was executed in Khanta village in Sonbhadra district\, and Jargo village near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh\, India.” \nFIRE IN THE BELLYLaunch of the PosterzineFeaturing 8 trailblazing women artists and creative powerhouses – Anikesa Dhing\, Aqui Thami\, Aravani Art Project\, Dhruvi Acharya\, Meena Kandasamy\, Rithika Pandey\, Shilpa Gupta\, and Zeenat Kulavoor – this posterzine is a call to action\, a celebration of female strength\, and an invitation to join the movement for equality. \nEach poster is a unique expression of the artist’s vision\, a tearable and pastable piece of art that can be used in small  acts of celebration and protest.

DESCRIPTION:The French digital designer Isabelle Arvers and the Indian artist Gayatri Kodikal in conversation on the theme – The digital\, a vector of equality? \nMachines and software\, in their design and usage\, reflect the inequalities that run through the societies that develop them. Sometimes guaranteeing renewed access to education and culture\, these technologies can also consolidate power relationships and raise several questions. Does digital technology worsen inequality of opportunity? What is the relationship between art and digital technology? Is the design of video games neutral and does it promote inclusion? In what ways can video games be seen as a new language and medium for artists? How can we ensure that the information available on the Internet\, the digital world as a whole\, allows for a fair representation of the existing cultural diversity and does not leave out certain minorities? \nWatch the sessionAbout the panelists \nIsabelle Arvers\nIsabelle Arvers\, PHD Candidate\, LARSyS\, Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI)\, FBAUL\, is a French artist and curator whose research focuses on the interaction between art and video games. For the past twenty years\, she has been investigating the artistic\, ethical\, and critical implications of digital gaming. \nHer work explores the creative potential of hacking video games through machinima. As a curator\, she focuses on video games as a new language for artists. She curated several shows and festivals around the world\, including Jibambe na Tec (Nairobi\, AF\, 2020)\, Tecnofeminismo (Bogota\, AF\, 2019)\, Art Games World Tour exhibit (Buenos Aires\, 2019)\, Interspecies Imaginaries (Overkill\, 2019)\, Machinima in Mash Up (Vancouver Art Gallery\, 2016)\, UCLA Gamelab Festival (Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles 2015\, 2017)\, Evolution of Gaming (Vancouver\, 2014)\, Game Heroes (Alcazar\, Marseille\, 2011)\, Playing Real (Gamerz\, 2007)\, Mind Control (Banana RAM Ancona\, Italy\, 2004)\, Node Runner (Paris\, 2004) Playtime (Villette NumĂ©rique\, 2002)  . \nFrom 2013 to 2016\, she worked on art and research projects and curated and produced six antiAtlas of Borders exhibitions around the mutations of the borders in the 21st century\, including The Art of Bordering at MAXXI in Roma and Coding and decoding borders in Brussels. She was also in charge of the End of the Map exhibition in the fall 2015 in Paris about alternative\, subversive and emotional cartography. \nAs a tribute to Nathalie Magnan\, her association Kareron produced in 2018 TRANS//BORDER\, Nathalie Magnan’s teachings\, a series of events about ecosexuality\, cyber feminism\, alternative media and situated knowledge. Kareron is actually producing UKI a Sci-fi Alt reality cinema by Shu Lea Cheang. \nIn 2019\, she embarked on an Art and Games World Tour in non western countries to promote the notion of diversity of gender\, sexuality and geographic origin\, focusing on queer\, feminist\, and decolonial practices. In 2020\, Arvers started a PHD on Art & Games decolonization. \nGayatri Kodikal\nGayatri Kodikal is an artist and writer\, who has worked with moving image\, sound and esoteric game worlds. She indulges in the speculative\, the historical\, science fiction and feminist narratives. \nPsychology\, cinema\, game design and oral storytelling informs her research and inquiry that lead her to play with concepts of time\, memory\, decay\, traces and narrative forms. Game and ludic forms become a fertile space for conceptual art and thought. She writes to manifest and develop an ideology from a relationship with the ecological subject and the people\, plants and beings who inhabit it in the age of climate change and the modulating body in migrational movement. The work has often combined specific historical instances with her interests in ghost stories\, animism\, magic and spatial memories. The investigative quality of such instances\, missing information and wrong trails inspire fictional reconstructions and speculative situations that appear in most of the works. She is interested in how technology performs the haunting dance of absence and presence\, investigating the material and immaterial as collage\, assemblage\, where in she tries to maintain the illusive physicality of the digital and instability of the analogue. She also explores film material as a historical artifact\, by observing decay and preservation as documentation. \nThe archive is a key site of inquiry\, where she unfolds a counter-archive and decolonised method and form. Her anarchival practices bring a heterogeneity and different media and materials into archives along with performance tactics that emerge from collaborative processes. \nShe has taught at The National Institute of Design\, Srishti School of Art\, Design and Technology\, and KRV Institute of Architecture.Currently her research explores haunting\, encounter\, disappearance and camouflage as a speculative strategy for the modulating body. Her Masters thesis investigated the concept of ‘shapeshifting’ as a narrative trope that could lend itself to contemporary political strategies of embodiment; liminality and being in the void\, the anarchitectural practice of trans* bodies\, the fluidity and camouflage of protest spaces and the protester\, the abjection of statelessness\, the metaphor of the mangrove game world. She was guided by the mentorship of Hypatia Vourloumis and Anselm Franke at the Dutch Art Institute Roaming Academy\, The Netherlands.

The fields of teaching and research will span pure and applied sciences\, social and human sciences\, life sciences and technology\, applied to One Health. \nA Call to Gather Leading French and Indian Higher Education and Research Institutions \nBolstered by a long-standing and fruitful cooperation in education and research between India and France\, the French Ministries of Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE) and of Higher Education\, Research and Innovation (MESRI) have jointly launched this initiative\, to which € 900\,000 (7.4 Crore INR) of public funding has been allocated. To establish a fair and transparent process for the selection of partners\, be it standalone institutions or consortia\, a Call for Projects\, open to French Higher Education and Research Institutions\, was launched on the 15th of April 2022. By the 1st of June 2022\, the most promising project proposals were shortlisted by a jury from the two Ministries. These included both projects with Indian partners placed and those with Indian partners not yet identified. \nAbout the Workshop: \nThe representatives of the shortlisted projects\, put forth by 17 French Public Universities\, have been invited to India for a Franco-Indian Higher Education and Research Workshop under the framework of the Franco-Indian Campus for Health initiative to be held from 27th – 28th June 2022 at The Claridges hotel. It will be attended by 22 French and 41 Indian Higher Education and Research Institutions\, French and Indian research agencies\, industry and government bodies concerned with this initiative. This workshop will serve as the preliminary interface for the various stakeholders of this initiative to meet\, further develop their respective projects and explore new synergies both within and beyond the realm of this initiative. The University Grants Commission (UGC) will be represented at the workshop by its Chairman\, Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar. The UGC’s new regulations for Academic Collaboration between Indian and Foreign Higher Educational Institutions to offer Twinning\, Joint Degree and Dual Degree Programmes) Regulations resonate with this initiative in both spirit and in their call for action. \nWay Forward:  \nBy 30th September 2022\, the final project proposals will be submitted. They will be subject to a rigorous selection process by a panel of experts\, at the end of which\, in October\, three projects will be selected and awarded funding. The implementation of the selected projects must begin by the 31st of December. \nAt this preliminary stage\, the Campus is proposed as a coalition of Franco-Indian academic partners in which each pair of institutions/consortia agrees on a syllabus for a programme awarding a dual degree (1 Indian degree + 1 French degree). The partners could be French and Indian institutions/consortia that already have an ongoing collaboration(s)\, but they could also be new stakeholders\, provided there is an evidence of reciprocal commitment. The long-term aim of the campus is to confer degrees at Bachelor’s\, Master’s and Doctoral levels and facilitate high-end research and innovation projects. Ultimately\, this joint undertaking would strengthen the academic and scientific cooperation between India and France by leveraging and emphasizing the respective strengths of the two nations in higher education and research for the strategic sector of Health.
