Meet the Pulse Coordinators:
Manogna KishoreHello! I'm Manogna, a Public Programmes Coordinator at MAP. I have a keen interest in pondering about the nature of our being and the sadness it brings with it, credits to my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. I fancy strong, black coffee, cats and collecting trinkets.
Breanne CoelhoHello :) I'm Breanne, a Public Programmes Coordinator here at MAP. As a Museum Studies master's student, I'm excited to explore the potential of museums to build meaningful community spaces. I love spending Bangalore's rainy days curled up with a good book and a hot drink !
Pulse’s third volume unraveled the wavering spirit of being thrown into an unfamiliar setting. Whether it’s moving to a new city or staying in the same one, we are all subjects in transit to a destination unknown. We delved into the precariousness of newfound experiences and the fragile nature of stability in life. Titled “In Transit” this volume contemplated the nuances of transition that comes with memories of the past and what seems to be an unforeseeable future.
For the second volume of Pulse, we paid a very warm and special homage to family, friendship, and community. We looked at all the different kinds of emotions “family” brings within us. We looked at the family we were born into, the ones we found and also the ones we lost. Titled “Family: Found & Otherwise” this volume is a letter to our loved ones – whether they raised us, lived with us or joined us somewhere along the way!
This first volume, we explored the nuanced, multifaceted and often bittersweet experiences of growing up and navigating the changes that come with early adulthood. Titled "Work in Progress," this volume explores all the different emotions and experiences that shape our journey into adulthood. Because early adulthood is a constant work-in-progress!
