Drinks, tunes, bites and a lecture by architect, urban designer and filmmaker Rohan Shivkumar. The talk will explore the intertwined histories of image making and the evolution of the city of Mumbai.

Mumbai is often more myth than place. Every street and square is haunted by images – from the past and the future. These images shape the way we see who we are, and what we are going to be. They come from the world of cinema, television, poetry, urban design and architecture and promise the unfettered freedom of modernity on the streets, but also its inverse- the dark dungeon of crime filled alleys. These are intertwined with the everyday life of its inhabitants and affects the way the city grows. This has been particularly true across the twentieth century during which both its population and its role as the centre for the Hindi film industry grew rapidly.

This School’s Out! with Wouter Vanstiphout is the book presentation of ‘Autonoom: 100% Carel Weeber’ a detailed architect’s biography and a richly illustrated architectural monograph, bringing together life and work of Weeber. According to Vanstiphout, the common thread in this story is “that from the beginning of his professional career, Carel Weeber consciously adopted the attitude of an outsider and paradoxically, through the almost theatrical elaboration of this attitude, has had a great influence on Dutch architecture and its institutions.” The evening includes a film program, followed by drinks and bites.
