Multimedia project at jamia
The 96th Foundation Day of Jamia Millia Islamia, The AJK Mass Communication Research Centre, has taken up the initiative of putting up a photo exhibition and a multimedia project. This creative experiment entails a multimedia project which is a revolutionary experiment.
ChitthiAayiHai allows the public to become a participant, to collaborate and co-create and be an artiste. Conversations have existed for long where we debate whether art should be for art’s sake or for people sake. Here the visitors are encouraged to write messages on postcards and their personal portraits are juxtaposed with those messages to create a work of art. Here the average selfie assumes meaning and goes beyond the aspersions of vanity and self indulgence.
“This project draws inspiration from the Prime Minister’s call to express our feelings for the brave soldiers. The multimedia project extends into our students and the public participating in the art of creating art and at the same time expressing our heartfelt gratitude to our young brave soldiers who face great odds and selflessly continue to serve this great nation. On the occasion of Diwali we wanted to join our country in expressing our thanks to our army and to convey to them that despite them being away from their homes each one of us has a home which they can call their own and we salute their commitment and bravery and wish them a very happy and prosperous Diwali,” Prof FB Khan said.
The second project is a photography exhibition on the theme Us and Them; Owning the Other.
“Photographs are your window to the world, a testament of the times we live in. Through the exhibition which I have curated and attempted to engage students who were asked to explore stereotypes, myths and deep rooted, prejudices and perceptions about people, places, things and situations that they were uncomfortable or unsure about,” Khan said.
