Cubbon Park Narratives - Book Launch & Panel Discussion

Organised by

Mod Foundation

Description

Originally created in 1870, Cubbon Park has always been a political, social, cultural, and green center in Bangalore. Archival images show us how the park has shifted over time, and citizen perspectives provide us even more insight into the park's lesser known stories. Want to hear more about it? Come to Bangalore Design Center on Saturday, June 20th, where @suresh1shanthi will discuss his new book, Cubbon Park: Citizens’ Perspectives and Many Visions for the Future along with book designer @ninan_josef @studioninanjoseph, as well as @nareshnarasimhan and @zenrainman. Through vivid ethnography and historical cartography, this book captures the multi-layered narratives of Cubbon Park as an emblem of urban nature, culture, and citizen-led resistance. The book unearths these forgotten narratives by exploring the park’s deeply contrasting identities.
