SUMMARY:Cubbon Park
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-six people. \nActivists\, lawyers\, historians\, artists\, and the park’s own former chief gardener\, all with something different to say about the same 300 acres of green in the middle of Bengaluru. \nCubbon Park: Citizens’ Perspectives and Many Visions for the Future gathers their voices into a single\, layered chronicle of one of the city’s most iconic landmarks\, moving beyond dry archives and simple nostalgia. The book reframes the historic 1870 park not just as a green refuge\, but as a democratic micro-cosmos of the city\, a site of citizen resistance\, urban identity\, and social coexistence\, while confronting gentrification\, rising surveillance\, and commercial encroachment head-on. \nThis session brings the book’s contributors together in conversation\, alongside a short film and an audience Q&A\, to explore what it takes to hold that many perspectives in one place\, and what it will take to keep Cubbon Park public. \n\n\nCitizens’ Perspectives and Many Visions for the Future\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUUxKU3hZuuyZQ21SOqEmOnwM7fibyhJUhYgdgiD5S2LcBEQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor)\n*Speakers*: Chiranjiv Singh\, Madhu Bhushan\, Shakun Doundiyakhed\, Akkai Padmashali\, Suresh Jayaram\n*Event Categories*: Bangalore\, Books\, Society
