After 3 immensely successful editions of Pecha Kucha Nights Hyderabad, here comes vol 4 bringing you very interesting people with amazing presentations.

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young creatives to meet, network, and show their work in public. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. See more details at http://facebook.com/pechakuchahyderabad

“Man, Modernity and Mountains includes the screening of two documentary films: “”Sharnarthi: A Generation in Exile”" (48″”, 2009, Nepal, Bhutan & New Zealand, English and Nepali with English subtitles) and “”Mugu: The Conscience of Karnali”" (18″”, 2010, Nepali, various languages with English subtitles).

Sharnarthi, directed by Rituraj Sapkota, traces the story of a generation on Refugees from Bhutan who lived in refugee camps f…or 18 years and who are now being resettled in countries such as the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. Most of this generation were either too small to remember when their families were ousted from Bhutan or have never seen Bhutan, having spent their entire lives in refugee camps. Born to ethnically Nepalese parents who were once citizens of Bhutan, over 50,000 children and teenagers today are living a life of mixed identities, none concrete. What nationality and what identity do they ascribe themselves?

Mugu: The conscience of Karnali, directed by Rituraj Sapkota and produced by Tourism Development Endeavours, Nepal, is the tale of unbelievable hardship people in a unbelievably scenic place in the forlorn end of Nepal are forced to endure. It documents the struggle for subsistence, the hardships of practicing agriculture in an arid landscape, the mad race for income-generating hunt for aphrodisiacs and herbs and a community’s scope for cultural survival amidst a wave of intervention and globalization.
The event is a part of our attempt to bring stories little heard of to a larger audience and to sensitize people to issues that happen so close to us and yet are so detached from our lives.”

Fl!pmind was established in 2008 with the objective of using video and audio as media for documenting issues of humane significance and facilitating concrete change. While we frequently use video as a medium to build corporate videos and advocacy films for NGOs, our commitment lies in bringing stories from little known places and of little known communities to a wider, sensitized audience.

Asrar ul Haq ‘Majaz’ (1911-1955) is often referred to as the Keats of Urdu letters for his lyrical expression, exquisite imagery and the romantic spirit that underlies his work. Majaz hails from a family of poets and litterateurs. Muztar Khairabadi, one of the great masters of Urdu poetry, was among his ancestors. His sister, Safiya was married to Jan Nisar Akhter, Javed Akhter’s father. Majaz did his B.A. at Aligarh Muslim Univ…ersity and became a popular poet at Aligarh–very early in his life. He endeared himself to students, masses and literati alike and became one of the front-ranking poets of the taraqqi pasand tahreek or Progressive Writers’ Movement. He wrote the taraana or anthem of the AMU—yeh mera chaman hai, mera chaman, maiN apne chaman ka bulbul huN. His nazms and Ghazals have enduring appeal and his awaara is ranked among the most popular nazms in Urdu. However, alcoholism took him rapidly down the path of self-destruction and he died a lonely death on the roof of a tavern on December 5, 1955. While Majaz’s talent was never in question, the fact remains that his genius did not quite find full expression, marred as his poetic career was, by alcoholism.

As a tribute to one of the finest poets in the Urdu tradition and as part of its Poetry Appreciation Series Lamakaan kicks off Majaaz’s centenary celebrations through a lecture-presentation by Dr. Fakhre Alam, Assistant Professor, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (Lucknow Campus) on Sunday, January 9.

Lamakaan presents Sangeeta Natak Academy Award Winner Prahlad Singh Tipanya’s Musical Interpretation of Kabir

The Celebrated Kabir Project Comes to Hyderabad

At Lamakaan, Road No. 1 Banjara Hills on Friday Jan 7th 2010 at 7 30 PM
…
Lamakaan is proud to present the songs of Kabir rendered in the mellifluous voice of Prahlad Singh Tipanya and group on Friday January 7th at 7 30 PM. Tipanyaji’s first ever Hyderabad concert also marks the beginning of a year long effort to bring the Kabir Project (http://www.kabirproject.org/) to Hyderabad.

Prahlad Singh Tipanya is a rural school teacher from the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, who began singing in the late 1970s after being attracted by the sound of the folk tambura. His rare talent, passion, and insight have caused him to be increasingly recognized as a remarkable exponent of Kabir’s music and meanings. Among many other honors, he received the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi award in 2008.

Many believe that in the historic struggle in India between secular syncretic traditions and communal forces, it is people like Tipanya who form the most important place. His concerts in rural India are attended by thousands who ar drawn to the radical message of Kabir through his rendition of the tradition.

Tipanyi is not merely a singer but a radical interpreter of Kabir and the Sufi/Bhakto tradition. While his amazing rendition of Kabir bhajans are captivating in themselves, his greater strength is his capacity to bring forth the radical nature of Kabir’s message that has been part of the Indian tradition for six centuries now. Come enjoy the songs of Kabir at Lamakaan. Attached are also two of Tipanya’s renditions of Kabir as a brief teaser for your listening pleasure.
