At Open Space we are always looking to understand and redefine the conventions that bind us. As part of the work we do we are bringing together Valmiki in the 21st Century, a workshop with Arshia Sattar which will focus on Valmiki’s Ramayana and will also look at modern interpretations of the text in cinema, animation, theatre and popular culture.

Registration fee includes reading material and a copy of Valmiki’s Ramayana (translated by Arshia Sattar).

Arshia Sattar is an advisor to Open Space. Arshia has a PhD in South Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Chicago. She teaches courses on classical Indian literatures for various American universities and has recently begun teaching traditional narratives for screenwriting programmes. She has been closely associated with theatre in India over the last two decades.
