Emami Art hosted the screening of the film ‘Performing the Goddess’ followed by a conversation with Sandip Roy, Chapal Bhaduri and Naveen Kishore on 20th May, 5.45 PM onwards.

This intimate video biography with in-depth interviews, extracts from milestone fragments of Jatra plays, the make-up process that metamorphoses a man into a woman into a goddess, and documentation of the play on the goddess, provided the spectators with a rare entry into an unusual world, and a close look at Chapal Bhaduri’s life and work.

After the screening, Sandip Roy engaged with a conversation with Chapal Bhaduri and Naveen Kishore. The event was a part of the ongoing exhibition ‘In a Cannibal Time, Photographs by Naveen Kishore’ from April 28 – June 25, 2023.
