Postponement
My apologies: there has been an unavoidable change in tomorrow's programme. Jude's session is postponed to a later date.
Instead we will be screening at 6 pm the next segment in our Great Artists series. The documentary is 75 minutes long and features the artworks of Durer, Michelangelo and Raphael.

Giotto di Bondone and Leonardo da Vinci
On 18 February at 6 pm,was the screening of a documentary titled The Great Artists. Art historian Tim Marlow explored the lives and works of some of the greatest artists in Western art. Marlow elucidated the importance of Giotto di Bondone in kick starting the Renaissance with his naturalistic and emotive treatment of medieval Christian iconography. Leaping forward, Marlow bared Leonardo da Vinci’s genius not just in art but in science also to show his towering contribution to the development of art in Europe.

A note from Alok
Three years back when I moved to Goa, first thing I did was: visiting galleries, bookshops, going for concerts and plays. This is how I go about getting to know a place by its people, culture and make myself feel at home. I made friends and one of them, after knowing my interests and inclination towards art + culture suggested that I should attend Lila, an initiative of Apurva Kulkarni, an artist himself. The way this friend described Lila, I did not want to miss the next one. Unfortunately he got to know that Lila is not happening anymore, no reason found.
Damn!!! I thought I missed something real good. But life has its own way of surprising you.
Few weeks back Apurva visited my studio to review my work and at the end of it, he asked if I would be interested in talking about my work at Lila. There's no way I would have had second thought about it. I grabbed the opportunity.
I really enjoyed my time at Lila on 11th Feb. but what impressed me most was how between 5.30pm - 5.45pm enthusiasts started filling the room, they walked in with a certain vibe/energy that told me what Lila meant to all of them. I talked about myself, my work and my life. They heard me patiently. There were few questions from them but they made me think. The Lila audience gave me a big high!
11th Morning I walked in with a big blank canvas and no expectations. And come evening I walked out with a rich canvas and an overwhelming experience.
Thank you Apurva!
Thank you everyone at Lila!
Thank you Goa - I feel at home!!
