- 예술
Akkad Bakkad is a podcast initiative of the Hindi literary platform, Posham Pa, to venture into different forms of art and discuss their impact.
It is conceptualized as a series where we will read books together, see films together and then sit together to share what we feel about them—the overall experience of that art form, the emotions it succeeded or failed to invoke, the craft employed, and its location within progressive politics.
The literature we explore will range from stories, plays, novels, poetry to films and series.
Connect with us and share what YOU felt about these.

Movies: Solomon Northup's Odyssey (1984) and Twelve Years A Slave (2013)
The inhuman system of slavery that caused one person be owned by another was a system of racial dominance. Dominance that exists to date in Western societies and penetrates all institutions from education to law to media to cinema. In the fresh episode of Akkad Bakkad, Vijay Sharma, Sahej Aziz and Puneet Kusum discuss two films depicting the horrors of slavery, made on the same novel 'Twelve Years A Slave', by two different directors in different years. The films are 'Solomon Northup's Odyssey' and 'Twelve Years A Slave' and they traverse the life journey of Solomon Northup, who is kidnapped and pushed into slavery. Do watch the films and tune in to listen to this podcast.
पोषम पा के पॉडकास्ट अक्कड़ बक्कड़ में सुनिए विजय, सहज और पुनीत को बात करते हुए दो फ़िल्मों पर, जो एक ही किताब 'ग़ुलामी के बारह साल' पर आधारित हैं। ये फ़िल्में हमें बारह साल के उस काल-खण्ड में ले जाती हैं, जिसमें सोलोमन नोरथप नाम के अफ़्रीकी-अमेरिकी व्यक्ति को ग़ुलाम बनाकर क़ैद रखा जाता है। साथ ही ये फ़िल्में हमें सोलोमन की आज़ादी से ग़ुलामी और फिर से आज़ादी तक की इस यात्रा की भयावह तस्वीरें दिखाती चलती हैं!

Books: Jadu Ka Kaaleen | a play by Mridula Garg
In the sixth episode of Akkad Bakkad, a podcast by Posham Pa, listen to Puneet Kusum and Sahej Aziz as they discuss 'Jadu Ka Kaaleen', a play by Mridula Garg. This play exposes the political and administrative corruption while talking about child labor. The carpet that the children weave, is the medium of their exploitation, and also a medium of their imaginations of freedom. The characters of the play are children but the play is more for adults for they are the ones who have constructed and have to break this cruelty.
