📚What happens when celebrity, media, and political discourse intersect?

Join us for an interactive session on 'Neoliberal Stardom, Vernacular Celebrity, and the Cultural Politics of Visibility in Contemporary India'

The session will feature Rutuja Deshmukh and Ramna Walia, co-editors for the upcoming book, 'Mediated Cultures, Political discourses, and the Celebrity: Perspectives from India' (Bloomsbury 2026)

It maps the figure of the film celebrity in the last two decades amidst industrial, technological and political changes in the Indian mediascape, interrogates how contemporary Indian stardom is reshaped through the forces of platform capitalism, regional cultural assertion, algorithmic visibility, and neoliberal self-branding.

What happens when women pick up the camera and tell their own stories?

Join us for a screening of Mast Mahila Mandali (Cool Ladies Club) A participatory, co-created documentary that follows ten women from Mumbai’s eastern suburbs as they learn filmmaking through an 18 month process of collective creation.

Through their own cameras and perspectives, the film explores women’s labour, everyday life, family, work, love, and joy. The documentary emerges from participatory filmmaking and collective storytelling.

The team of Mast Mahila Mandali will also be joining us for an interactive session after the screening, an opportunity for the students to engage with the people behind the film and learn more about their filmmaking process.
