MEDIA MEET is the annual international conference of the Department of Media Studies, CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Bangalore, India. This year's event, themed DATA ART+, is a dynamic forum designed to foster a robust network between academia and industry.
I moderated the panel "Art as Expression" with Aijaz Khan, Appupen and Shehnad Jalal.
Panelist at the National Students Seminar on Digital Humanities and Literature: Interfaces, Innovations, and Interventions at Reva University. This national seminar sought to explore how digital tools reshape our understanding of literature, language, and culture, and what ethical, aesthetic, and academic questions arise from this convergence.
I was a panelist on Museumfication and Instagramming Humanities.
I had the serendipitous opportunity to give a guided walkthrough of the exhibition Ticket, Tika, Chaap at the Museum of Art and Photography (MAP), Bangalore, alongside Manogna Kishore.
The exhibition shows the textile labels produced during the 19th and 20th centuries. These labels speak of the great volume of research on colonies as consumers. As one of the earliest forms of branding and marketing, the labels are whimsical, humorous, and even anti-colonial (which is ironic as they were made in Britain by the British!).
I also lead guided walks for different groups that visit the museum, especially for university students and people with disabilities.

I'm answering these questions and more, in this video.
