Please join us for a film screening & director Q&A of Somnath Waghmare’s Chaityabhumi. The film explores Chaityabhumi, the holy site where lakhs of people congregate twice a year to pay their respects to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, often called the father of the Indian Constitution, who dedicated his life to fighting the chains of caste oppression and bringing revolutionary change. The film brings to light the history and cultural politics of how people observe December 6th at Chaityabhumi, and what is the relevance of this public event in contemporary India. It explores how the Dalit community comes together to honour this day and the political implications it holds for Dalit identity and empowerment.

Food and refreshments will be served!
