A DELICATE WEAVE
Kutchi and Hindi with English subtitles, 62 Mins, 2017
School of Media and Cultural Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences,
India
https://delicateweave.wordpress.com/ [1]
DATE | Monday, March 26, 2018
TIME | 19.00 hrs
VENUE | 6 Assagao, Cursino Villa, No.6 Saunto Vaddo, Anjuna Mapusa Road,
Assagao, Goa
A DELICATE WEAVE, set in Kachchh, Gujarat, India, traces four different
musical journeys, all converging in the ways they affirm religious
diversity, syncretism and love of the other. Drawing on the poetic and
musical traditions of Kabir and Shah Bhitai, as well as the folk
traditions of the region, these remarkable musicians and singers bear
testimony to how these oral traditions of compassion are being passed
down from one generation to the next.
Whether it is the group of young men in Bhujodi who meet every night to
sing the bhajans of Kabir, or the feisty women from Lakhpat, who quietly
subvert gender roles through their music performances, or Noor Mohammad
Sodha, who plays and teaches exquisite flute music, or Jiant Khan and
his disciples, whose love for the Sufi poet Bhitai is expressed through
the ethereal form of Waee singing--all these passionate musicians keep
alive this delicate weave, committed to the project of what Naranbhai, a
carpet weaver and community archivist from Bhujodi calls "breaking down
the walls"; walls that have been built up through the politics of hate
and intolerance that marks our times.
This is the latest in the Kachchh Trilogy-- the earlier ones are A Two
Day Fair , 2009 (Do Din Ka Mela) and Like Here Like There , 2011 (So
Heddan So Hoddan)
