Description
This calendar by Bookworm, Goa is the outcome of a year-long research project titled ‘Facing Caste: Engaging with the Privileged’, undertaken by Sujata Noronha and Beena Choksi with a group of library educators, with a view to learning how to prepare for discussions on caste with children.
Bookworm chose the ubiquitous calendar as a learning resource for sharing across library communities and educational spaces, to make visible what our curriculum, text books, and ‘mainstream’ literature do not. The calendar spotlights indigenous figures and landmark events for memory keeping and to give recognition to the lives and path-breaking struggles of anti-caste activists. A calendar to celebrate their birthdays and achievements and to venerate their death anniversaries and the movements they launched.
The calendar has been designed by @bakeryprasad aka Siddhesh Gautam, a Delhi-based multi-discipline, mixed-media artist, designer, writer, poet, and an Ambedkarite.
