Produktbeschreibung

The conference intersectionally locates memory and space that reconstruct city chronotopes to explore how identities are reconfigured in metropolitan Indian cities. In taking recourse in locating turning points that could be historical, political or cultural in the life of 'Metropolitan Indian Cities' the perspective that is brought together with personal and collective stories that are recorded in Art /Literature /Curated Projects /Museums is that these moments reshape human values/ ethos in Cities. The assumption made is that at specific moments in time / turning points, with the pandemic for instance the spirit of the city changes. It highlights how human beings in cities account for such changes (the IIHS runs a postcard project on human lives during the plague and corona) being an example. It uses focal moments in the City as the lens to discuss Art, Literature and City Design.
