On 8th September, IIMB will host an evening of discussion and art on carpet weaving that will interlink academic debates and Dastangoi; this adds a new dimension to ongoing research at IIMB & King’s College London
01 SEPTEMBER, 2022: Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, along with King’s College London, is the recipient of the prestigious UKRI-ICSSR grant on “Enablers and Obstacles for UK-India Trade: Banks and Diasporas”. The on-going project is led by Dr. Prateek Raj in IIM Bangalore, and Dr. Sunil Kumar and Dr. Kamini Gupta at King’s College London.
The three academics will come together as a panel on 8th September, at the IIMB auditorium to discuss their learnings from their immersion in different parts of India, understanding the functioning of handcrafted carpet, saree, and shawl industries. The 30-minute panel discussion, which starts at 7 pm on 8th September (Thursday), will be followed by a cultural performance called ‘Kaleen aur Awadh-nama: A Music Narrative’.
‘Kissa-goi’ is a traditional form of story-telling in Urdu. Here, the artistes, Askari Naqvi and Samir Madhusudhan Kher, take the kissa-goi format and contemporize it by combining history with poetry, photographs and music. The result is a feast for both the mind and the soul.
The performance is open to all but please register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/kaleen-aur-awadh-nama-a-music-narrative-tickets-410345583687
The audience will hear of how ideas and migrant populations found roots in the fertile soil of Avadh and produced an ocean of musical traditions, cuisines, people, dialects, crafts, customs and traditions. They will get to appreciate the turn of the phrase in a performance of ‘Dastangoi’.
Organised as part of a research project by King’s College, London, and IIM Bangalore on the hand-knotted carpet industry, the performance will also provide a unique insight on project themes such as social networks, the lives and work of chinkakari karigars, and the carpet cluster in Khairabad.
