DD/MM/YYYY
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Venue : FSI Hall, Ground Hall, South Asian University, Akbar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi

Event Description : LILA Foundation & South Asian University welcome you to an evening of reading and discussion with poet R Cheran and novelist Vikram Kapur, chaired by Kavita Sharma. Echoes of Silence is the second event hosted by LILA’ s cultural banner Bearing Witness. The multi-layered echoes of silence resonate long after the history of a period has been written; long after its facts have been disassembled and the actions of its principal actors argued over. With words, we seek to give each vecho a shape and a form. With words, we seek to reclaim the echoes of the silences teeming all around us.
The evening will progress as follows :
Welcome: Sasanka Perera (Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, SAU)
