For the occasion, artist and curator Arijit Bhattacharyya gave a talk and book presentation of Dreaming Dissent. A graphic journalistic work, the book traces parts of the 'Anti-CAA NRC' protests of India through the accounts of activist and scholar Dr Nausheen Baba Khan and journalist Jyotirmoy Karmokar.
The graphic narrative is collaboratively illustrated by Suvojit Roy, Santanu Dey, Shibayan Halder, and Soumik Ghosh. The interview of Dr Nausheen Baba Khan is assisted by Swagata Bhattacharyya, Soumik Ghosh and Shibayan Halder.
