Nachruf auf Dr. Pia Srinivasan
Mit dem Tod von Dr. Pia Srinivasan (15. Mai 1931 – 8. April 2022) verlieren Freunde der indischen Musik eine inspirierende Vertreterin des deutsch-indischen Dialogs.
Zugleich lebt ihr Erbe fort, sei es mit Hilfe ihrer preisgekrönten, weil zugänglichen Aufnahme südindischer klassischer Musik, sei es mit Veröffentlichungen, die sie in Zusammenarbeit mit ihrem Mann Prof. S.A. Srinivasan für ein Fachpublikum erarbeitete.
ePUB | Zusammen sind wir stark: Ein Buch für Kinder und Erwachsene von Martin Kämpchen
Als klassisches Vorlesebuch konzipiert, lädt diese Geschichtensammlung Eltern und Großeltern dazu ein, sich gemeinsam mit ihren Vor- und Grundschulkindern in eine uns ferne Lebenswelt entführen zulassen. Es sind Erzählungen zum gemeinsamen Erleben, zum Staunen und zum Wundern. Das Buch ist sparsam und einfach illustriert: Kohlezeichnungen des indischen Künstlers Sanyasi Lohar wechseln mit zeichnungsartig verfremdeten Fotografien des Ortes Merangdi und seiner Umgebung ab.
