SUMMARY:I USED TO BE A MOUNTAIN…SHAPED LIKE A RIVER!  by  Mithu Sen\, Artist & Poet
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Visual Arts is delighted to invite you to the first talk in the Visual Arts Colloquium Series\, Monsoon 2026. \nTitle: I USED TO BE A MOUNTAIN…SHAPED LIKE A RIVER!\nAn Unchronological Journey Through Mediums\, Encounters\, and Radical Hospitality \nDate & Time: Friday\, 11th September 2026\, 1:30 PM – 3 PM \nVenue: Visual Arts Studio \nArtist bio:  \nMithu Sen’s artistic practice reflects on and critiques social norms and institutional authority through ideas of radical hospitality and “perpetual unbecoming\,” resisting fixed identities and scripted structures. Working across conceptual and multidisciplinary forms\, she employs playful yet provocative interventions to reconsider questions of identity\, language\, and belonging while engaging with systems of power. Through counter-narratives and speculative gestures\, she seeks to unsettle societal conventions\, linguistic hierarchies\, and fixed modes of meaning. \nHer practice has traversed continents\, inhabiting biennales\, museums\, galleries\, and experimental platforms. She has exhibited and performed at Haus der Kulturen der Welt\, Berlin; Sharjah Biennale 15\, Sharjah; APT9 – 9th Asia Pacific Triennial\, Australia; Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg\, Germany; Kiran Nadar Museum of Art\, India; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Art Unlimited\, Art Basel; Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, USA; Kochi-Muziris Biennale; Dhaka Art Summit; Tate Modern\, London; Zacheta National Gallery of Art\, Warsaw; and National Museum of Modern Art\, Tokyo\, among others. \nIn 2023\, she presented her mid-career survey exhibition mOTHERTONGUE at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. Her monograph\, Unmyth: Works and Worlds of Mithu Sen\, was published in 2025. She is the recipient of several awards\, including the Škoda Prize and the Prudential Eye Award for Contemporary Asian Art – Drawing. Sen lives and works in New Delhi. \n  \nTo receive further updates\, talk-specific announcements and event details\, please sign up for the Visual Arts Colloquium mailing list: [Sign up here] \nPlease join us for the talk\, we look forward to having you with us. \n  \nwarm regards\, \nVisual Arts Department

SUMMARY:Psychology & Cognitive Sciences Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk traces my journey through psychology and research over the past fifteen years. I begin with what first drew me to the field\, then turn to my PhD and its contributions\, before mapping the emerging streams of work that now shape my agenda. All of it centres on the study of social identity with the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. I focus on two of these streams. The first asks how social identity performance contributes to the perpetuation and reproduction of social inequality. The second asks how we operationalise social identity and bring its abstractions into the laboratory\, where we can examine behaviour and measure its impact on preferences across a range of domains. Looking ahead\, I will set out where these strands are heading – from operationalising identity performance at scale\, to the intergenerational transmission of obligation\, to how people resist the identities they are expected to perform. Together I aspire to form a coherent body of applied research across South Asia and beyond\, and grounded in social psychology while bridging neighbouring disciplines.  \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Poorvi Iyer is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology at Rochester Institute of Technology of Dubai. She recently completed a three-year postdoctoral appointment as Research Officer in Experimental Games at the Department of Methodology\, LSE\, where she also holds a PhD in Social Research Methods. She additionally holds an MSc in Behavioural Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam. A consistent thread running through her work is the study of social identities\, pursued across two streams: the performance of identity under social scrutiny\, and the relationship between identity and economic preferences. Her research focuses in particular on the micro-social mechanisms through which caste and gender hierarchies are reproduced in everyday life in India\, drawing on the concept of maryada to examine how context\, audience\, and reputational concerns shape behaviour.
