|| Friction ||

Friction is a force that acts in opposite direction. Friction may arise as a result of voicing or expressing differences. Friction also means resistance, disagreement or conflict. 

Different forms emerge through friction between groups of people, different ideologies, artistic expressions or visual arts practices. For example, friction may give way to the dissent through a struggle between the dominant forms and the alternative forms. 

How does friction get expressed in varied artistic and cultural forms? In which ways friction emerges within certain time and space? What are the cultural, social or historical contexts that have lead to the formation of friction? How does friction impact our daily life and what are the ways in which friction is articulated through the everyday acts? The friction between two surfaces creates some amount of energy which can have dramatic consequences. In which ways friction create new narratives or forms of expressions?

With such questions and concerns, we would like to receive submissions from artists, scholars, researchers or writers for our tenth 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 ‘Friction’? Do send your work in Marathi and/or English or in audio-visual form by February 28, 2020 to info@hakara.in. For submission guidelines, please visit: www.hakara.in
