Turbulence

Turbulence is a result of chaotic changes in the environment or in social and cultural contexts. A turbulent situation may lead to the disruption of existing systems and patterns. Its manifestations may vary from place to place and time to time. It could be inexplicable or it may have a series of events behind it that are embedded within and outside the human world. 

Turbulence could transform the way we perceive the world around us.

How have individuals and society been able to respond to turbulence? Have we been able to predict the manner of its unfolding with our imagination and scientific approach? Does the turbulent situation weaken us? Or, do we look at it as an opportunity to introspect about our own lives?

How do cultural and artistic practices shift, shape or evolve while taking these chaotic changes into their fold? With such questions and concerns, we would like to receive submissions from artists, scholars, researchers or writers for our upcoming eleventh edition.

Are you a story-teller, writer, scholar, poet, visual artist, critic, photographer, social scientist, translator, curator or anyone who is interested in addressing such questions and concerns about ‘Turbulence’? Do send us your writing in Marathi and/or English or in audio-visual form by July 15, 2020 to info@hakara.in. 

You are welcome to engage with us in interaction and dialogue over your ideas and the development of your work.

Select works will be published in the forthcoming edition of हाकारा । hākārā. For submission guidelines, please visit www.hakara.in
