Join us as Raghu shares his journey of curating an Instagram archive for his father, the late and great Girish Karnad, who was an actor, film director, writer, playwright and a Jnanpith awardee. From exploring Girish Karnad's multifaceted career to reflecting on Raghu's personal connection with his father's work, we unravel the complexities of archiving the work of a beloved figure. Dive into a discussion about Girish Karnad's legacy, the challenges of preserving a cultural heritage, and the power of theatre and literature in shaping societal discourse.
