Studio Vierlinden is delighted to welcome two experts on India/Kashmir/Pakistan. They are transforming their knowledge into the art of documentaryin the field and are constructing a bridge to academia.

Their new project “Dastavezi” is an open platform for this approach:

Dastavezi: The Audio-Visual South Asia is an international peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal, which seeks to reposition film as a central mode of knowing and thinking about South Asia. It is the first peer-reviewed journal connecting scholarly research from and about South Asia with filmic practices.

Both researchers will screen a selection of their work, followed by plenty of time for questions and debate, with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
