Event Description : "Voh Subah Hami Se Aayegi" Seminar. 
This seminar focusses on movements that have captured the attention of women, on their struggles for land, livelihood and resources leading sometimes even to imprisonment for their political work. 
Through their lives and work we can explore the times that we have lived through and borne witness to, even as we may not have personally experienced the repression of those who have been in the forefront of these struggles. This focus will also enable us to understand the workings of the political agency of women who have sought to live out their lives fired by an oppositional imagination, faced repression, sustained themselves through their camaraderie and written about their experiences. The seminar hopes to reach out to a younger generation of women and men who may not be aware of the rich histories of struggles and to function as a living archive of the histories of mostly unknown women who have disappeared from our consciousness. This will be an occasion to participate in the making of an archive of our own times.
