Expressions Annual 2005

Published by Abhivyakti, the 2005 edition of the annual journal 'Expressions' focuses on the theme "Tools for Deepening Dialogue". Different practitioners were invited to discuss their tools and share their experiences of dialogue in the public space. Contributors offer a range of insights and experiences from using the tools. According to the journal's editorial, "despite their funny modern-sounding names, most have emerged from traditional culturally-rooted ways of engaging with each other. People have developed these tools by observing the ways communities have meaningfully interacted with each other. Such dialogue spaces, like the vegetable market, the chai stall, the pan-wala, the jagran, etc. still exist around us, if we choose to notice them. I envision developing more tools in the future based on local practices in our own communities."
