IGNCA’s Associate with IIWFF for jointly hosting the 4th India International Women’s film festival from Dec 15-20th ( only Seminar & Documentary section ) is in congruence with Center’s aims in projecting several dimensions of women's creativity in the field of photography, fine arts, performing arts and the indigenous expressions of women through local knowledge systems such as, embroidery, crafts, poetry, folklore and rituals. Through its documentation of the rich artistic traditions of India, made possible by its Media Centre division, IGNCA has sought to reframe gender in the context of culture of India and brought together eminent scholars from different disciplines to explore the ways in which cultural resources can be used as a tool for the empowerment of women. An integral part of IGNCA “Narivada:
The Center’s approach have utilized cultural resources, such as religious scriptures and texts, symbols, powerful feminine icons in oral and written tradition, myths, and legends, life-style of primal communities and grass-root traditions to make these areas as a point of departure for changing social attitudes towards the gender question. The main intervention of IGNCA has been to revalidate the rich cultural resources to create a platform of discourse along with gender activism which presupposes the value of these resources. .
