Stories of Ambara

Join us in celebrating 25 years of Ambara through a morning of stories, memories, and map-making—for both adults and children.

Two Parallel Workshops

For Adults (12+ years)

Between the Bazaar and the Barracks: A Memory Mapping Workshop

Facilitated by placed-based storyteller Aliyeh Rizvi, this session includes a reflection on memories of Ambara, Ulsoor, and Bangalore. Participants will then be guided through interactive memory-sharing activities, culminating in a collective map-making exercise.

For Children (Ages 4–12)

Sensorial Walk & Memory Collage

Led by author and educator, Akhila Das Blah, children will embark on an experiential walk around Ambara, engaging their senses to collect place based memories. The session will conclude with a guided textural collage and personal map-making activity.
