We had a wonderful discussion on Food Journeys: Stories from the Heart on 3rd December, 2024 with the Editors (Dolly Kikon and Joel Rodrigues) and two contributors (Anjuman Ara Begum and Neivikhotso Chaya) of the book. The Conference hall at India International Centre (IIC) was completely packed with students, professors, friends and colleagues. Everyone was excited to hear our speakers share their thoughts on the idea of 'land' in the Northeast and how the food that grows on these lands play a vital role in shaping the socio-cultural and geo-political landscape of this region of India.

In continuation with our theme, 'Sexual Violence and Impunity', we are bringing exclusive interviews from scholarly feminists who have been the champions of gender rights in the face of sexual atrocities over the past few decades.
Team Zubaan had curated questions around the legitimacy of impunity, socio-legal accountability of sexual violence, and marginalisation of gendered narratives at a systemic level, and our gracious speakers took out some time from their busy schedules to further these discussions at a time when hope has been grim and violence high at an alarming rate.
We had the opportunity to interview Bina Paul for the occasion.
Bina Paul Venugopal is an Indian film editor who has worked mainly with the Malayalam film industry. Along with directing four documentaries, she has edited over 50 documentaries and feature films. She has also worked with women filmmakers like Revathi, Suma Josson, Pamela Rooks, and Shabnam Virmani.
