Chapter. 23: Katarvel with Anish Gawande

Katarvel (Marathi) means the time when evening scissors into the night. In this conversation, Laxmi and Anish attempt to trace what books and literature mean for them as individuals, their experience of studying literature as a way to understand the world around them and how Anish translates these learning experiences into his work with The Dara Shikoh Fellowship, Pink List India, and as a writer, translator, and art curator. Tune in for a dive into understanding the relationship between theory and praxis and how they scissor into each other and overlap, civic consciousness, and the current trends in Humanities and Academia through the intersections of gender and sexuality. Bonus: Anish reads an original poem in the second half of the conversation.
