Invite for Urban Colloquium_02

Urban Colloquium is a monthly seminar to meet, share, and discuss all things urban!
The meets will be scheduled every 2nd saturday of the month from 6:30pm till 7:30pm.

Last month we had the first meet of the year with the screening of two short films on urban renewal and megaurbanisation in Mumbai.

This month we have a speaker from a Bangalore based organization called ‘Fields of View‘.
Sruthi Krishnan was a software engineer who went on to become a journalist. She joined The Hindu in Chennai and reported on technology. After that she moved to Bangalore where she collaborated with two professors, writing a book on design which is expected to be out this year. Meanwhile, she started an organization called Fields of View along with a group of friends where she now works as a researcher. Recently they finished a project with Medialab Amsterdam and IIIT-Bangalore, to develop a prototype of Convers(t)ation, a panel that can be installed in public spaces to collect informal reports of sexual harassment (http://vimeo.com/87071472).
A lot of their work is focused towards using gaming and technology to address urban issues.
