Tata Institute of Social Sciences Media Lab/ Mumbai
K.P.Jayasankar, Anjali Monteiro, Shilpa Phadke
The
Centre for Media & Cultural Studies, (CMCS) is an independent
centre of Tata Institute of Social Sciences, engaged in media teaching,
production, research & dissemination. A unique feature of the
Centre is the close linkage between the technical & academic areas
of its work. The work of the Centre straddles both realms, thus
facilitating a synergy between research, teaching & production, all
of which are informed by a keen sense of connection with local
subaltern cultures of resistance & invention.
Team members:
Antonia Hasle / London UK/
Antonia
is London based, and comes from a background in the advertising and
entertainment industries. She has been independently researching and
documenting informal architectural and economic development, alongside
systems, chaos, and organic processes in design, art and architecture
since 2006.
Exploring how potential crossovers between organic urban
development and technological opportunities can be economically
successful, she is concerned with the importance of maintaining
cultural sensitivity, and dynamism, in a new global context.
Antonia
is currently working with Celine Condorelli (Support Structure) and
Andreas Lang (Public Works), organising 'Initiative & Institution';
an exhibition, publication and series of events 'seeking to negotiate
the possibilities of spatial/architectural/artistic endeavour for
political positioning.'
Pooja Das Sarkar / Mumbai India/
The workshop is a thoughtful and creative attempt and I would love to be a part of it and assist it to achieve its aims in any capacity. My skills include the ability to be a part of a group and work together creatively - two heads are better than one and nothing beats actions as a result of stimulating discussion. My interests include development and media - using media and communication for development.
Susannah Still / New York City USA/
I
am an urban planning graduate student at New YorkUniversity/place />
specializing in transportation, infrastructure and environment. I grew
up in Columbia Missouriand did my undergraduate studies in German and
History at the Universityof Michiganand spent time as a Fulbright
teaching assistant in Austria. I have never been to India or even Asia
but look forward to the challenge presented in Dharavi and the
opportunity to learn and contribute during this workshop.

As an Architect my interests are more inclined towards housing and urban developments, disaster mitigation and rehabilitation.
Making
livelihood documentary movies is a passion that I have followed during
and after my college years. The making of these movies have taught me
how to interact with people of various sections of society and more
importantly how to approach a difficult subject creatively and
differently.
Working in Tamil Nadu after the Tsunami has opened my
eyes to a lot of harsh realities, most not very pleasant. This has
reinforced my ambition to collaborate all my interests and strengths so
that i maybe able to contribute back and help make a difference in a
creative and effective manner.
The workshop is offering a unique way
of looking at the prevailing situations, and I think it is a great
opportunity for people from varied backgrounds to come together to
brainstorm and produce creative outputs.
Purvi Shetty / Bangalore India
A keen
interest in cultural diversity and lifestyles is what has made me apply
for this workshop. I am an MBA graduate, just out of college, with no
prior experience with urban design or planning. However I m very
interested in the area of Social development and Welfare. I could use
my management skills as a platform to direct the multiplicity of ideas
and thoughts. This will be an entirely new learning experience for me
and I m hoping to be able to contribute in some way.
