Bringing together the many worlds of Santosh Morajkar has been made possible through the generosity and trust of collectors who have shared works from their personal collections for My Many Worlds: A Santosh Morajkar Retrospective and its accompanying publication, Santosh Morajkar: A Life in Art.

Each contribution has helped bring together a body of work that spans Santosh’s artistic journey, offering audiences an opportunity to encounter the breadth of his practice and engage with the ideas, memories and imagined beings that shaped his world.

The Museum of Goa extends its sincere gratitude to all the collectors and institutions who have made this retrospective possible.

Thank you for being part of Santosh’s enduring artistic legacy. Come see these works together, and experience the many worlds of Santosh Morajkar at MOG.

The exhibition is open to viewing from the 17th October to 15th November 2026

This Sunday at MOG, we were joined by Karen D’Mello, theatre maker, educator, and co-founder of KathaSiyah and Same Same, for a conversation around 'Trust me, it’s a Forward!', a tabletop role-playing game that explores digital misinformation and the ways we build trust in the information we encounter every day.

Drawing from her experience of developing the game, Karen spoke about how familiar WhatsApp forwards became the starting point for a larger inquiry into trust, truth, and the systems through which information travels. Set in a fictional world beneath the icy crust of a moon, the game was both real enough to feel familiar and dystopian enough to create distance from everyday life. Participants had to make decisions with limited information, often under pressure, revealing how beliefs, group loyalties, and a sense of belonging can influence what we choose to believe and share.

The conversation also explored how games and storytelling can create space to question our assumptions without placing blame on individuals. By stepping into fictional roles, participants could reflect on their own choices and experiences, and consider how misinformation travels through groups. The game offered a way to move beyond simply identifying what is true or false, towards understanding why certain messages gain our trust and how quickly we may pass them on.

Join us at MOG Sundays to take part in conversations that matter.

Phytoplankton World comes to a close!

Over 15 days, nearly 13,000 people stepped into Phytoplankton World: The Unseen Heroes of Marine Life at the Old GMC Complex, Panaji, bringing together students, schools, families, educators and communities through an experience of art, science and wonder.

With nearly 1,500 students taking part, the installation became a space where learning extended beyond the classroom. Through art, storytelling, play and hands-on exploration, children discovered the unseen organisms that sustain our oceans and our lives.

We are deeply grateful to Hon. Mayor Rohit Monserrate and the Corporation of the City of Panaji for supporting projects that bring meaningful educational experiences into public spaces and make them accessible to diverse communities. Our thanks also to ESG, the schools, teachers, families, volunteers and everyone who helped bring this experience to life.

From school groups and colleges to homeschool communities and families, Phytoplankton World became a meeting point for people with a shared sense of curiosity.

Art grows in support — through spaces that make room for ideas, conversations, and people to come together.

We are grateful to welcome The Whispering Palms Beach Resort, Candolim, as our hospitality partner for the workshop 'Writing the Self'. For hosting the Founder-Publisher of Yoda Press and Associate Professor of Writing at Ashoka University, Arpita Das. Supporting the arts also means supporting the people who make, teach, and share it.

We look forward to welcoming all the participants for a weekend of writing, learning, and sharing our love for the written word.

‘Trust me, it’s a Forward!’ is a tabletop role-playing game about digital mis/disinformation, developed in 2023–24. The game looks at how information travels, how trust gets built and broken, where doubt enters the picture, and how easily we can be persuaded by information we encounter every day.

This presentation by Karen D’Mello, a theatre maker and educator from Bangalore and co-founder of KathaSiyah and Same Same, shares the thinking behind the making of the game, the questions that shaped it, and the conversations and unexpected reflections that emerged through the process. What happens when we do not simply read, scroll past, or fact-check mis/disinformation, but step into it and play with it? What can play help us notice that an article or fact-check may not? And what can a fantastical yet familiar dystopia reveal about trust, choice, and the ways we relate to people we may have never met? At its heart, this is a conversation about creating spaces to think, question, challenge power, and make sense of the world with others.

Today’s MOG Sunday brought together Frances and Sanjay Sinha, who reflected on several decades of work on poverty, livelihoods and development in India, and on the Gandhian ideas that shaped their approach.

They spoke about beginning their work in the late 1970s, at a time of political and social change in the country. Rather than starting with questions of national policy, they chose to work closely with communities and understand the lives and economic realities of some of the poorest families in rural India. Their early work included land reclamation, local enterprise, credit and the Antyodaya principle of focusing on the most vulnerable.

Their experiences also brought them face to face with the limitations of large-scale development programmes. The implementation of the Integrated Rural Development Programme revealed problems of misallocation and graft, but also became a “learning laboratory” that helped shape the programmes that followed. Over the years, their work expanded across rural industries, crafts, dairy, silk, technology, cooperatives, and microfinance, while continuing to ask how systems could respond more meaningfully to the people they were meant to serve.

The conversation returned to the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi and E.F. Schumacher, of local economies, appropriate technology, dignity of labour and development that places people and the environment before growth alone. It was a conversation about the importance of listening, learning from the ground, and understanding that meaningful change begins with sustained efforts.

We are delighted to invite you to the preview night of ‘My Many Worlds: A Santosh Morajkar Retrospective’, a celebration of the life and work of one of Goa’s beloved artists.

Santosh Morajkar’s work moved freely between imagination, mythology, animals, people, and the everyday. Across printmaking, drawing, painting and sculpture, he created a world that was unmistakably his own, playful, unapologetic, strange, and rooted in Goa and the people around him. This retrospective brings together his works over the years, tracing the many worlds he built throughout his life.

The evening will also mark the launch of ‘Santosh Morajkar: A Life in Art’, the first comprehensive publication on the life and practice of the artist.

The evening will be accompanied by specially curated cocktails by Hapusa Gin and Godawan Estuary Premium Water.

🗓️ Date: Friday, 16th October, 2026
🕚 Time: 7:00 PM
📍 Venue: Museum of Goa, Plot No. 79, Pilerne Industrial Estate, Bardez

The exhibition is open to viewing from the 17th October – 15th November 2026

Nilankur Das, curator of MOG Sundays, is here to introduce you to the lineup for October.

We begin October on the 4th with a session remembering Mahatma Gandhi through his idea of Gram Swaraj. Frances and Sanjay Sinha bring decades of work with communities into the conversation, looking at livelihoods, local economies and the role of microfinance in strengthening communities from within. On 11th October, Karen D’Mello of KathaSiyah, a Bangalore-based theatre group, invites us to think through play. Can real-life situations become games? Through a participatory tabletop game on digital misinformation, the session explores how difficult questions around what we see, share and believe online can be opened up through conversation and play.

The third Sunday of October brings us the fifth chapter of Fish Curry and Rice on the 18th. Aaron Lobo and Claude Alvares take us to the waters where the sweet meets the salt, exploring Goa’s rivers and estuaries, and the fragile ecosystems and communities connected to them. We close October on the 25th by travelling back 500 years to Goa’s Gaunkari system and the Foral of 1526. Professor Sushila Mendes, Remy Dias and Rev. Dr Jason Keith Fernandes explore this remarkable document, looking at village governance, collective life and the long journey towards the comunidade.

Save the date and come take part in conversations that matter. Come curious, leave transformed!
