Join us for a conversation between Sundar Sarukkai, Divya Ravindranath, C K Meena, and Karthik Venkatesh as they discuss Sarukkai’s new novel, Water Days.
What unfolds when a young woman’s death ripples through a Bangalore neighbourhood at the turn of the millennium? Set against a neighbourhood in Bangalore where Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi form a buzzing background of muted conversations, Water Days delves into thirteen days of quiet upheaval—where the death of a young woman leads to a frenzy of questions dealing with the complexities of migration, language, and modernity.
The year-long curation of City Scripts will delve into the profound roots of our personal and public memories, histories and narratives through fiction, collections, archives, cultural practices and more.
Imagine the city as our collective garden. We nurture the seeds of our personal stories, carrying them with us and planting them in our neighbourhoods and backyards. There is always more to experience in a garden: entangled roots of our past, yellowing leaves falling with time, and the green tendrils of new ideas.
