The GPD Under50 Talks is a series of talks by artists, intellectuals and activists in memory of G.P. Deshpande (1938-2013), playwright, scholar, polyglot. GPD's birthday falls on August 2, and the talks will run through August and early September.
GPD's birthday falls on August 2, and the talks will run through August and early September.
What are we asking of the speakers? They will talk to us about what they are doing currently — what they are preoccupied with, what they are excited about. They will share with us the reason(s) their current work excites them, and how, in their estimation, it will make a difference to their field.
Why under 50? Because these are not learned lectures by experts of long standing, nor flights of imagination from rookies. These are talks by artists, intellectuals and activists who've been around a while, who have a wealth of experience, who have their opinions, often strong, and who are open to exploring new ways of thinking, working, and engaging with the world. We think this would be a nice tribute to GPD, who, even as he was a sort of 'guru', remained, right till the end, young, free thinking, and intellectually curious.
Who are the speakers?
Aug 1: Danish Husain (actor and dastango)
Aug 2: Smita Vats (director, Itihaas)
further talks will be added later.....
