Women, Ecology and Performing Arts in Northeast India

Join our partner, Zubaan for the third webinar of this year's Cultures of Peace programming! Speakers Lapdiang A. Syiem, Papari Medhi and Rekha Konsam discuss 'Women, Ecology and Performing Arts in Northeast India'. The session will be moderated by Namrata Pathak.

The webinar will look at the web of interrelationships between performing arts, women as artists and the ecological systems around us. It will also look at performing arts as an intricate ecosystem in itself, and explore how art and artists respond and reclaim these relationships to propose new possibilities towards a more harmonious and sustainable coexistence.

Cultures of Peace: Festival of the Northeast (CoP) is a collaborative project run by Zubaan and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung, Regional Office, New Delhi aimed at creating spaces for dialogue within civil societies in the eight Northeastern states (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya , Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura & Sikkim) and contiguous regions.

In our 2021 edition, the CoP festival looks at feminist responses to ecology through the two themes of “Ecology” and “Performing Arts,” and lists a series of webinars, podcasts, video interviews, etc on various aspects of ecology, ecological crisis and ecology in performing and creative arts in the Northeast.
