Ostracized by the former slaves and blinding subjected to the whims of the white planters\, these ‘Coolie’ Indians swiftly learn the art of survival and plunge into an unfamiliar world where just like their forgotten deities\, their language too has faded amongst the Creole words. \nOur partners\nSpeaking Tiger Books\nSpeaking Tiger Books is an independent publishing company based in New Delhi.

In honour of this occasion\, Unsealed Chamber: The Transient Image is presenting four contemporary artists working with both analogue and digital methods\, reacting to vital transformations following a year of introspection in the course of the pandemic. \nThrough newly made productions\, Aparna Nori\, Arpan Mukherjee\, Indu Antony and Philippe Calia explore a sense of creative hybridity by melding both manual techniques and new media to reflect on questions of self\, society\, ecology and representation. With a focus on ongoing social concerns\, sometimes as subjects within their own images\, they make crucial contributions to the ever-growing cultural history of the craft of image-making and identity construction. \n⇲ Curated by Rahaab Allana\n⇲ Scenography is realized by Sukanya Baskar \n\nFree Entry. Open to all. \n\nGallery visits from 11 am to 7 pm (venue rules applicable) \n\nObserve social distancing and wear masks while in the gallery. \n\nThe number of visitors in the gallery may be regulated. \nCurator & Scenographer\nRahaab Allana \nSukanya Baskar \nArtists\nAparna Nori \nArpan Mukherjee \nIndu Antony \nPhilippe Calia \nAparna Nori / Nalla Pilla\nAparna Nori (b. 1975) is a photo-based artist based in Bangalore\, India. She has a Master’s degree in Documentary filmmaking and works on commissioned assignments with magazines and creative teams.

Since 2010\, the French gastronomic meal and its rituals have been recognized as an intangible UNESCO cultural heritage. The special attention paid to the pleasures of the table can also be found in everyday life. The French are very attached to the three-meal day. \nIn France\, the art of living is first and foremost about eating well. Ranked as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage\, the fame of French cuisine comes from the many chefs who have been able to demonstrate their expertise abroad. Pastries\, baked goods\, traditional recipes\, exceptional wines and culinary curiosities: each region has its own specialities. \nJoin us for a special session on 07/10 at 6:00 PM on the Art of French Cooking with renowned Chef Sahil Mehta\, who will take us through his journey and give us an insight into his kitchen. \nRegister for the webinarChef Sahil MEHTA speaks\nWell\, where do I start from about my journey and love for France? \nI was all 13 years when my stepdad and mom decided to tell us at home that we were moving to Paris\, where stands the headquarters of UNESCO\, where my stepdad was getting posted. \nI must admit\, I was a tough nut to crack for this moving deal\, however when I did the initial few months were a struggle till I moved into schooling in September 1993\, all of 13 years with my long hair ( which is far from the current hairdo )\, long story short moving to September\, I was privileged enough to study at one of the finest schools in Paris L’ecole bilingue de serves \, instantly I made some great friends from all across the world friendships that I carry forward till date almost two decades plus. \nWhile growing up\, wed often have the privilege to be going out as I was lucky enough to be born in a family with fine taste\, the sound of the kitchen from restaurants cafes always pleased me to hear pretty waitresses say Qui excited me to join this beautiful profession. \nAt school\, we had a full-fledged cafeteria serving some great meals. The restaurants on champs would fascinate me at times when we get bored from the school meals we’d hop to the boulangerie infant of the school and buy the sandwich Jambon beurre or sandwich poulet. \nIn the morning we would have this young lady come outside our school gate and serve us hot and fresh-baked Pain au Chocolat’s and Croissants. I guess that is where I developed my love for food and decided after school I would\nspecialize in this wonderful profession. \nI would also visit Delhi every 6 months for my vacation and miss the smell of fresh early morning baked bread\, as at that point of time people here hardly spoke about such products. \nThis as a young teenager made my decision even stronger and in ’96 after my school\, I forced my dad to take me to Santos Dumont Ecole hotelier in Saint Cloud\, Paris\, France. \nWhere I arrived the first day in jeans to which my School’s Dean said” no jeans young man”. \nThe kitchen and state of art equipment fascinated me but least did I know that I was in for a surprise. \nI was not joining a hotel school but a military school. However\, today when I look back\, it has made me a much more disciplined and organized person and has also made me realize my vast knowledge of Wines\, Cheese and Several Dishes. \nI was trained in Decoupage de Fruits de Mer et Fromage\, Flambage\, Bar Management\, Restaurant Management\, a hard core Food and Beverage course. \nNot only did I learn\, but got an opportunity to work in Hotels and organizations like the Ritz\, Bristol\, Salon Wilson\, Travellers Club\, Hotel Baltimore\, Potel et Chabot\, Roland Gaross and Unesco. \nThen I came back to India to seek opportunities. \nIn the year 2008\, I was supposed to buy a cake for a friend’s birthday and went to a popular hotel’s bakery shop to buy an opera cake\, having had the best and being used to that quality I was shocked at what I ate and served my guests that to form such a big group. \nThis incident made me realize the need for good Bakery and Pastry products in our country\, so I decided to fly back to Paris and study again at Ecole Lenotre\, (the Mecca\, the Harvard) of bakery and pastry schools. \nI did an extensive course specializing in Bread\, Viennoiserie\, Chocolate and Confectionery and specialized in setting up bakeries and pastry shops. \nI also\, ensure to go back every year to upgrade my skills to institutes like Ducasse. \nCame Back and the rest like they say is history. \nIf I have to sum\, France made me a very disciplined person\, it also made me realize my abilities as a human and taught me le savoir-faire francais\, off it wasn’t for my education and studying the profession I am in at the Mecca I wouldn’t have reached so far in life. So like I say India has my soul but France has my heart.

Her landmark book considered the Bible of the feminist movement\, The Second Sex (1949) will soon be translated again in Hindi by Monica Singh\, with the support of our PAP Tagore programme. 2020 marks the first publication in France of Simone de Beauvoir’s The Inseparables. This captivating unpublished novel from 1954 tells the first passionate and tragic friendship between two rebellious young girls\, Simone de Beauvoir & Zaza. Simone de Beauvoir’s adopted daughter\, Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir\, had discovered this manuscript in Beauvoir’s private archives. Beauvoir referred to women as the Second Sex because they always seemed to be defined in relation to men.

In powerful black-and-white comic strip images\, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen\, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime\, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution\, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEight years old Marjane (Marji) who wants to become a prophet\, was brought up in a liberal family that supported education\, modernity forgiveness\, and justice and didn’t believe in the orthodox government regime. In this story\, Marji is going through revolutions\, war\, mourning\, exile\, depression but also learning more about life\, puberty\, and first love. \nShe survives wars and political suppression but a failed love affair made her life miserable. The book talks about how she lived and fights back in war times\, her struggles against orthodox society\, her divorce at the age of 21\, and how she finds refuge in France and has a new beginning. The author has written the text in an almost childish manner\, to reflect her innocence in the horrifying world. The book provides an alternative outlook into Iran for western countries who consumed the false and negative media attention given to Iran at that time. \nPersepolis has been adapted into an animated film and won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival 2007. The movie was named the Official French Selection for the Best Foreign Language Film. It is now published in Hindi by Vani Prakashan and the book is available in the Indian market. \nSpeakers\nMarjane Satrapi: author and film director\nAditi Maheshwari – Vani Prakashan\nVishwajyoti Ghosh – Moderator\nAppupen: author of the graphic novel\nNidheesh Tyagi: translator\, editor and poet URL:https://www.institutfrancaisindia.in/event/persepolis/ LOCATION:IFINDIA\, 2\, APJ Abdul Kalam Road\, New Delhi\, Delhi\, 110001\, India CATEGORIES:Equality,Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ifindia.cdn.betanet.in/ifindia/uploads/2021/10/Twitter-post-09.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210419T183000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210621T203000 DTSTAMP:20260605T230056 CREATED:20210520T080710Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220121T042509Z UID:2513-1618857000-1624307400@www.institutfrancaisindia.in SUMMARY:Women in Science DESCRIPTION:India and France have been working together for several decades to achieve common developmental goals in the field of science and research. To preserve the heritage of this longstanding collaboration\, the French Institute in India has initiated a project to document the scientific partnership between India and France across disciplines. \nThe prime objective of the project is to revisit and document the common history of science and technology between India and France. The context of the Generation Equality Forum also prompts us to question the visibility of the women who contributed to our common scientific progress. \nWomen have made contributions to science since the earliest of times. Diverse ideas and perspectives steer us toward progress\, toward life-changing solutions that help everybody. For scientific research to be impartial\, objective and accurate\, diversity and inclusion is inevitable. In these curated talks with experts from many different scientific fields\, astronomer and science historian Pranav Sharma explores the unique perspective women bring to the fields of science and STEM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch videosEp. 1: Dr. Archana Sharma - Being a woman in a gentlemen’s world\n\nEp 2: Dr. Shivani Chaturvedi - Creating the right role models\n\nEp. 3: Dr. Rohini Goldbole - Equity and Inclusion in Science\n\nEp. 4: Dr. Mythily Ramaswamy - Women in Mathematics\n\nEp. 5: Dr. Isabelle Daniel - The Emergence of Life on Earth URL:https://www.institutfrancaisindia.in/event/women-in-science/ LOCATION:IFINDIA\, 2\, APJ Abdul Kalam Road\, New Delhi\, Delhi\, 110001\, India CATEGORIES:Equality,Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ifindia.cdn.betanet.in/ifindia/uploads/2021/10/Twitter-post-12-1-1.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
