Event Description : Jana Natya Manch presents Jhandapur Industrial Heritage Walk with Smita Vats


Safdar Hashmi was killed on the outskirts of Delhi in 1989. On the 25th anniversary of the attack and Safdar's martyrdom, Janam, in association with Itihaas, is offering a industrial heritage walk in Jhandapur – a walk that will trace the history of a quarter century (and more) of urbanisation, industrialisation, unionisation, de-industrialisation, working class militancy and the role of art in all this. 

The 120-minute walk will start from Pacific Mall (exit gate), opposite Kaushambi metro station on the blue line, at 3 p.m. on Saturday, 15th February 2014. Smita Vats, of Itihaas, has designed the walk and will conduct it. This is an absolutely unique opportunity to pay tribute to a people's hero by learning about our environs from a perspective one rarely gets!

The walk will include a local tempo ride – with stops at Hero Cycle, Central Electronics Limited, Safdar Hashmi Smarak Sthal. Walk through the small galis of Jhandapur settlement  to remember Safdar, the solidarity of the workers and the artists and the power of art and theatre. In the basti itself, there will be plenty of options to pick up delicious -- if slightly fattening! -- snacks and beverages.
