Seeing You! Seeing Me!

Inspired by Goethe-Institut’s ongoing South Asian regional project M3: Man, Male, Masculine that is based on the theme of Masculinities, Bangalore based theatre artists Nisha Abdulla and Sri Vamsi Matta are offering Seeing You! Seeing Me!, an interactive workshop for parents and children to explore and discuss current visions of masculinity using body, object and play. The workshop will take place on Sunday January 29, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Bhavan.
