For its 2013 edition, Europalia has invited India. Europalia has already presented the rich culture of other BRIC countries in previous festivals: europalia.russia in 2005, europalia.china in 2009 and europalia.brasil in 2011. Europalia.india comes as a logical sequel. India has become an important player in today’s globalised world. Spontaneously India is associated with powerful economical driving force. The Indian economy is very attractive and witnesses an explosion of foreign investments. But India is also a great cultural power. The largest democracy in the world is a unique mosaic of peoples, languages, religions and ancient traditions; resulting from 5000 years of history. India is a land of contrasts. A young republic with a modern, liberal economy but also a land with an enormous historical wealth: the dazzling Taj Mahal, the maharajas, beautiful temples and palaces and countless stories to inspire our imagination. India also has a booming contemporary art scene. We witness an increasing number of Indian artists in the international art market. This wonderful subcontinent counts 1.2 billion inhabitants of which 50% is aged 25 or less, an inexhaustible source of talents. Enough reasons to take a closer look at this immense country. Therefore, europalia.india will present several exhibitions destined to illustrate India’s rich culture, specially created in collaboration with ICCR, the Europalia team, its cultural partners and with leading experts on India and from around the world. As per tradition, Europalia will also honour the other artistic disciplines. India counts numerous traditional and contemporary dance forms, with strong spiritual meaning, that celebrate the body and life. Musical instruments, among which the sitar and tabla are world famous. Bollywood is one of the leading film industries in the world, but India produces countless other types of cinema which europalia.india will be thrilled to showcase. The flourishing Indian literature will also be presented, as well as oral traditions that have not lost their strength, as witnessed by the still living Rāmāyana and Mahābhārata. Europalia.india will honour India’s historical heritage as well as its young and dynamic contemporary art scene throughout all artistic disciplines and in dozens of cultural centres across Belgium and in surrounding regions. 3 ORGANISATION The europalia.india festival is a collaboration between the Indian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and its partners, Europalia International aisbl and about two hundred cultural organisations in Belgium and in Europe. Two General Commissioners, Dr. Karan Singh and Baron Philippe Vlerick, support the artistic and executive teams of europalia.india in India and in Belgium, led by Dr. Suresh Goel and Kristine De Mulder. Europalia.india can count on the very active support of the Indian Embassy in Brussels, the Belgian Embassy in New Delhi and the Consulate General of Belgium in Mumbai. It would be impossible to mount the europalia.india festival without the support of: FPS Foreign Affairs Belgian Science Policy FPS Employment Vlaamse Gemeenschap Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles Brussels-Capital Region Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft National Bank of Belgium Ackermans & Van Haaren Rosy Blue Solvay Negotiations are still under course with several other companies. 4 STRUCTURE OF THE FESTIVAL The organisation of the europalia.india festival has posed a number of challenges. How could we present a relevant image of Indian culture? Would our Western vision not result in a truncated depiction of India, the victim of stereotypes and clichés? India is so ancient and so complex, it has blended so many histories to create its own and comprises so many cultures – joined in a unique paradox of remarkable continuity and endless rupture–that it was difficult to decide which angle we should approach it from in order to distil its essential aspects and bring these to the public in a palatable- however not simplistic - form. To describe this great country, it was a question of reconstructing its essence of which we know so little beyond the usual clichés, largely inadequate to define India even if to some extent they reflect reality. During discussions with experts on Indian culture in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the UK, Switzerland, and of course in India, the theme of the encounter emerged. The general theme of the festival: encounters Encounters between India and other great world civilisations or between the different peoples and cultures that constitute the sub-continent have shaped India and continue to do so. But these encounters have also benefited the rest of the world: an encounter is never unilateral and each party can benefit from the occasion to extract elements and integrate them in their own culture. The encounter is also a fitting metaphor for India: it can be a shock, an exchange, assimilation, discovery, resistance, a source of progress or sorrow, and love. Who knows, it may be a little of all of these that inspire to discover this incredible country. Clusters within the main theme Again, it was in our attempt to decipher this multifaceted India that we identified seven sub-themes within the overall theme of encounters. These appeared to be enlightening and essential for anyone attempting to understand what India is. Each of these sub-themes, designed to facilitate a better reading of the programme, will be centralized as possible in one cultural venue or city. Each of the themes will feature all artistic disciplines: exhibitions, music, dance, theatre, literature, conferences and film. 1- The Body 2 - Indomania 3 - India Tomorrow 4 - Living Traditions 5 -Water 6 - Bollywood & beyond 7 - Diaspora The programme of the festival is unveiled as a general outline in following pages. It is still under construction and subject to changes and additions in coming months. 5 1. THE BODY Whoever admires Indian statuary or Moghul miniatures, who is interested in its tradition of physical culture, massage, the practice of medicine, dance, who observes Indian women dressed in their shimmering saris, their hands decorated with henna, or the pantheon of Hindu gods and their extraordinary bodies, who studies the concept of purity and impurity that is so crucial in Indian society… cannot help but be struck by the omnipresence of the body in Indian art and culture. Alternating between sensual, untouchable, adorned, sacred, tool or obstacle, it is because the body touches upon so many aspects of Indian culture that we have chosen it as the central theme of the festival’s opening exhibition and the accompanying performing arts programme. This also enables us to get to grips with India without reducing it to a single religion, region or historical period. In terms of exhibitions The Body in Indian Art (working title) at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels will be the main exhibition of the festival and will serve as a gateway to Indian culture. Through masterpieces of ancient and contemporary Indian art, the exhibition will show the importance of the body and its significance in India and will introduce the visitor to several major aspects of Indian culture (see page 12 for a detailed description of the exhibition). And the performing arts, literature and film… Indian music and dance sublimate the eloquence of the body. Dance has its own distinct languages and strict grammar: each mudra (the codified and symbolic positioning of hands), posture and facial expression is significant. Likewise musical notes, the voice, the original sound of Om and vibrations represent a formal and non-verbal language just as expressive for those who understand it. And yet, the relationship with the body in India is ambiguous: if it is a communication tool, it is also a carnal envelope from which one must be able to abstract and free oneself, as evidenced in ayurvedic medicine, yoga and the martial arts, which via the body, address the spirit. Siddhapratima © MAS, Antwerpen 6 2. INDOMANIA “Indomania” sounds a bit like an agreeable disease, an obsession, and a fascination. That of the West for Indian culture and civilisation, in all its historical grandeur but also in the details of its knowledge, lifestyle and wonders. This attraction, which we already find traces of in the Roman world, accelerated after Vasco de Gama and later with British colonialism. It has spawned numerous studies dedicated to a wide variety of subjects, but also a passion for Indian textiles, objects, artworks and philosophy. Less well known than Egyptomania, Indomania is still alive and kicking today, often conveying an idea of Indian exoticism with its share of clichés, and resulting in very diverse works: from reinterpretations of Moghul miniatures by Rembrandt to the birth of “Krishna Pop” by The Beatles, amongst others… In terms of exhibitions In the second circuit at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Indomania will for the first time retrace the history of contacts between the West and India and will illustrate through several astounding examples the influence India has exercised on the imagination of artists – writers, painters and sculptors, musicians, dancers, film makers (see page 14 for a detailed description of the exhibition).

The entire Gainesville music scene was built around songs: Top Forty songs on the radio, songs on albums, original songs performed on stage by bands and other musical ensembles. The late sixties was a golden age of rock and pop music and the rise of the rock band as a musical entity. As the counterculture marched for equal rights and against the war in Vietnam, a sonic revolution was occurring in the recording studio and on the concert stage. New sounds were being created through multitrack recording techniques, and record producers such as Phil Spector and George Martin became integral parts of the creative process. Musicians expanded their sonic palette by experimenting with the sounds of sitar, and through sound-modifying electronic ef- fects such as the wah-wah pedal, fuzz tone, and the Echoplex tape-de- lay unit, as well as a variety of new electronic keyboard instruments and synthesizers. The sound of every musical instrument contributed toward the overall sound of a performance or recording, and bands were begin- ning to expand beyond the core of drums, bass, and a couple guitars.

  • A BETTER WAY to BUILD DEMOCRACY Instructor: Doug Mcgetchin, Ph.D
    Non-Violent Power in Action A BETTER WAY TO BUILD DEMOCRACY Instructor: Doug McGetchin, Ph.D. Stopping the deportation of Jewish spouses in Nazi Berlin, the liberation of India, fighting for Civil Rights in the U.S., the fall of the Berlin Wall, the ouster of Serbia’s Milosevic and the recent Arab Awakening, all have come about through non-violent means. Most people are unaware of non-violent power, as the use of force gains much greater attention in the press. This lecture explains the effectiveness of non-violent resistance by examining multiple cases of nonviolence struggle with the aim of understanding the principles that led to their success. Using these tools, you can help create a more peaceful and democratic world. Thursday, April 20 • 9:45 –11:15 am $25/member; $35/non-member Doug McGetchin, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of History at Florida Atlantic University where he specializes in the history of the international connections between modern Germany and South Asia.

  • Nietzsche's Orientalism
    Duncan Large Nietzsche’s Orientalism Abstract: Edward Said may omit the German tradition from his ground-breaking study of Orientalism (1978), but it is clearly appropriate to describe Nietzsche as Orientalist in outlook. Without ever having left Western Europe, or even having read very widely on the subject, he indulges in a series of undiscriminating stereotypes about “Asia” and “the Orient”, borrowing from a range of contemporary sources. His is an uncom- mon Orientalism, though, for his evaluation of supposedly “Oriental” characteristics is generally positive, and they are used as a means to critique European decadence and degeneration. Because he defines the type “Oriental” reactively in opposition to the “European”, though, it is contradictory. Furthermore, on Nietzsche’s analysis “Europe” itself is less a type or a geographical designation than an agonal process of repeated self-overcoming. He reverses the received evaluation of the Europe-Orient opposition only in turn to deconstruct the opposition itself. Europe first emerged out of Asia in Ancient Greece, Nietzsche claims, and it has remained a precarious achieve- ment ever since, repeatedly liable to “re-orientalisation”. He argues that “Oriental” Christianity has held Europe in its sway for too long, but his preferred antidote is a further instance of European “re-orientalisation”, at the hands of the Jews, whose productive self-difference under a unified will he views as the best model for the “good Europeans” of the future. Keywords: Orientalism, Edward Said, Asia, Europe, Christianity, Jews, good Europeans. Zusammenfassung: Auch wenn in Edward Saids bahnbrechender Studie Orienta- lismus (1978) die deutsche Tradition nicht vorkommt, lässt sich Nietzsches Haltung doch als ‚orientalistisch‘ beschreiben.
