Dear Members and friends of Goa Chitra, Greetings from Goa Chitra. Goa Chitra invites you for the release of My Godri Anthology by Merle Almeida (A Bookworm production). MGA is a little picture book about a quilt and the tales it tells. Designer and film-maker Nina Sabnani has used needle craft and other wondrous storytelling tools to bring these tales to life. Merle has drawn upon her grandmother's life in Assolna in the 20thC to string the tales together, but it is also the wider story of a time and a community in this part of Goa.
It is appropriate that it is being launched with an exchange of community memory: Dr. Pandurang Phaldesai, folklorist and cultural anthropologist, will talk about folklore narratives and Eleanor Viegas, textile artist, will share her experiences of working with women who find their voice in needle craft. Savia Viegas, writer and art historian, will talk to Merle, Nina and publisher Sujata Noronha about their new book - why and how it came to be. RSVP 08326570877 / 08322772910/09850466165. Looking forward to seeing you, Warm regards, Victor Hugo Gomes09850466165www.goachitra.com Sneak peek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obuKBcjTRU4 More on: http://bookwormgoa.in/bookworm-publishing/my-godri-anthology/ Buy at: http://goo.gl/Chw7l Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MyGodriAnthology Facebook event - North Goa: https://www.facebook.com/events/341155095991032/ Facebook event - South Goa: https://www.facebook.com/events/547492051950397/
