SUMMARY:The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness
DESCRIPTION:South Asia Institute is pleased to announce its new exhibition\, “The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness\,” in collaboration with the Paglees. \nThe Paglees is a feminist collective of artists of South Asian origin living across the United States. Paglee or pagli means crazy woman in a number of South Asian languages. The Paglees are: Fawzia Khan\, Indrani Nayar-Gall\, Monica Jahan Bose\, Nirmal Raja\, Pallavi Sharma\, Renluka Maharaj\, and Shelly Bahl. \nIn their debut exhibition\, The Paglees investigate – with fierceness\, beauty\, and wit – the impact on women of generations of patriarchy\, religion\, white supremacy\, colonialism\, violence\, capitalism\, and environmental plunder. \nThe title of the exhibition derives from Rosa Parks’ words: “There is just so much hurt\, disappointment and oppression one can take. The bubble of life grows larger. The line between reason and madness grows thinner.” (Rosa Parks: Writings\, Notes and Statements\,1956-58). \nFeaturing mixed-media works on paper\, fabric\, and canvas\, sculpture\, performance\, photography\, installation\, and moving image\, The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness\, questions and reframes the labeling of non-conforming women as crazy and the marginalization of immigrant women of color. This collective exhibition presents new decolonial narratives that center the reason and wisdom of brown women of the Global South and diaspora\, and provide pathways to a creative feminist future. The Paglees believe in working in collaboration with other marginalized communities to build bridges and demand social\, environmental\, and legal justice for all. \nTHE PAGLEES\nFawzia Khan | Indrani Nayar-Gall | Monica Jahan Bose | Nirmal Raja | Pallavi Sharma | Renluka Maharaj | Shelly Bahl

SUMMARY:In Concert: Pt. Tejendra Mujumdar and Pt. Tanmoy Bose
DESCRIPTION:A Special Recital of Hindustani Classical Music at SAI\nSouth Asia Institute & South Asian Classical Music Society Present Pt. Tejendra Mujumdar and Pt. Tanmoy Bose in concert. \nPandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar’ is one of the most brilliant and popular classical artists from India. A dedicated musician who is also interested in composing\, arranging and experimenting in other areas of music. From composing the background score of meaningful films to musical ballets – Tejendra is always ready to take on any musical challenge. He has composed the music for the Bengali films like ‘Shongshoy’ and ‘Hononkal’ of Saibal Mitra\, Tollylights of Arjun Chakraborty\, and a lot of Telefilms. He has also composed and arranged music for different singers like Ghulam Ali\, Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty\, Haimanti Shukla\, and Arati Mukherjee. \nTejendra plays the fretless sarod and represents the Maihar gharana (school) having learned the instrument for many years from Bahadur Khan before his passing and later from his cousin Ali Akbar Khan. \nTanmoy Bose is a percussionist and tabla player\, musical producer\, film actor and composer. Born and raised in Kolkata\, the cultural capital of India\, Bose grew up in downtown Kolkata at a time when Indian Music was being paid serious attention in the West due to the efforts of the legendary maestros. His house used to throb with activity-business\, music\, medicine at all and was rightfully considered as a nodal point of practitioners and connoisseurs of all the above and could boast of being a landmark in the area. Bose is one of the foremost musicians in contemporary world music and an indispensable member in the global fraternity of percussion. Bose received his early tutelage from the legendary Kanai Dutta. Bose became the Gandabandh Shagird {formally initiated disciple in Indian classical music} of the noted torchbearer of the Farukhabad gharana Pandit Shankar Ghosh. \nFor Tanmoy\, music and life are inseparable. Rhythm is his quest of truth and beauty- it transcends all other priorities in his life.
