This discussion is set in the context of the recent ruling from the Karnataka High Court that limits public protests in Bangalore to a designated space within one park in the city, that too subject to police approval. It aims to explore how art can serve as an alternative medium for voicing dissent and fueling public discourse.

The panel will discuss the ramifications of the Court's ruling and its impact on communities, and talk about art as a potent tool for social change. Through their experiences, the panelists will demonstrate how art can amplify voices, provoke thought, and catalyze change even amidst growing restrictions on dissent.

In this episode of BIC Talks, Shilo Shiv Suleman, Mamta Sagar and Vinay Sreenivasa are in conversation with Divya Narayanan. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in June 2024.
