1hu GSCASH oloctions this year are being hold 1n the backdrop of a concortcd assoult on tho autonomy and tunctior11ng of tho GSCASH. and ot a time whon we are witnessing an nssortlon of communal rasctst forces across tho country. .
.
Ourfng this yeor, tho vision of 'fearless freedom·. which omergod out of the Nirbhaya movement, was oxpllndod through tho our struggles against power hierarchy .
in rho university structure, rac1al discrimination, rape-culture, srato oppression and v(olation of workers· rights. JNU student community boldly stood up tor gender justice and democratic rights noninst the brutal rape of a minor girl from the North·East and racist intimidation in Munitka, protesting at the Vasant Vihar Pohce Station and marching on the Parliament Street, in the faco of indiscriminate lathi-charge and detention. Whether it was communally targeted rape and sexual violence against the Muslim women in Muzaffarnagar, repeated instances of rnpe-culturo and victim blaming, moral policing, continuation of J<lwp and dis-'honour' killings, impunity of the security forces in cases of sexual violence through AFSPA, exploitation of women workers on campus. re-criminalization of gay sex by the Supreme Court, increasing cases of acid attacks on women in Delhi, or rac1st xonophobic attacks on African women in Khnki .
village, together we fought the communal, cap1talist and patriarchal forces. .
Within tho campus, we witnessed multiple administrative attempts to undermine GSCASH, be it the attempts to delay and overnde the GSCASH verdict in the CSRD professor case or the appointment of a professor with pending GSCASH enqu1ry to SIS deanship. We confronted these challenges through protracted struggles signature campaigns, university stnkes, protests. referendum and consultative meetings -to safeguard the GSCASH from administrative interference and forge a firm consensus to make GSCASH verdicts binding on the administration. The EC, which consists of senior professors and academiCians. can no longer be allowed to act as a peer group to shield people wtth 'emrnence' and ·power.' It is essential to safeguard the autonomy of a GSCASH like body from the hierarchical command structure of an institution, a .
sine qua non for GSCASH's existence and efficacy. .

"Ballerinas" | Zelda Fitzgerald 1900–1948
Oil on canvas, c. 1933
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery, Alabama
Born Montgomery, Alabama
Stepping out from her husband’s shadow, Zelda Fitzgerald pursued her own artistic identity in Paris. Her original, visionary use of language had boosted the literary success of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who appropriated her words in his novels and short stories. In Paris, she returned to her youthful love of ballet as a source of artistic expression and autonomy. Through grueling training, she hoped to perform with the Ballets Russes. Instead, overwork triggered a mental health crisis.
In her semi-autobiographical novel "Save Me the Waltz" (1932), Fitzgerald shattered the graceful illusions of ballet. Through unflinching descriptions, she emphasized the physical demands placed on dancers’ bodies.
This painting provides a visual equivalent. Fitzgerald represents herself as an androgynous figure with bulging calf and thigh muscles, “Because that’s how a ballet dancer feels after dancing.” Casting aside a pair of tutus, she removes the frilly adornments that camouflage a ballerina’s athleticism and hard work.

During the early twentieth century, Paris was the destination of choice for talented and independent American women who were determined to move beyond the limitations that restricted them at home. As foreigners in a cosmopolitan city, they escaped the societal expectations and constraints of both the United States and France. Many used their newfound liberty as an opportunity for self-reinvention and discovery.
In Paris, American women explored a variety of options for making their mark on contemporary culture. They carried out transformative work in wide-ranging fields including art, literature, dance, publishing, music, and fashion. An impressive number not only participated in important modernist initiatives but led them.
By crossing the Atlantic to pursue their personal and professional aspirations, these “brilliant exiles” took a leap into the future. They experienced liberties, opportunities, and tolerances that were yet to be achieved in the United States. How much has changed since then? Have the freedoms and possibilities they sought become realities?

"IN 1900, PARIS DAZZLED. The Exposition universelle was held from April to November that year, and 50 million visitors flocked to see Modernism celebrated in such wondrous exhibits as an escalator of moving steps and “talking pictures.” A “Palace of Electricity” bloomed in a pavilion decorated with thousands of lightbulbs, colored lamps, and multicolored electric flames. The exposition was cheered as “a fairytale spectacle.”
American dancer Loïe Fuller had her own pavilion. She was a star of the Folies Bergère, and brought her innovative performance to the exposition: She used yards of swirling silk and attached bamboo sticks to her sleeves to transform herself into such wonders of nature as a silken butterfly or a bursting flower. Isadora Duncan, then just starting out, came to the exposition expressly to see Fuller, and launched her own career by performing in Fuller’s troupe.
The 1900 Exposition universelle secured Paris as a center for Modernism, and a new exhibition describes how that city became a beacon for American women seeking to break from constrained traditions in the United States in the early twentieth century. Brilliant Exiles at the National Portrait Gallery spotlights fifty-seven of these expatriate women who were involved in art, writing, dance, fashion, music, and theater. As curator Robyn Asleson writes in the catalogue, Paris was a “particularly attractive destination for women who were impatient to move beyond the societal expectations and constraints that limited them in the United States”—restrictions on gender, sexuality, and race. They believed that Paris would help them forge new identities as Modern Women............"

"The artistic American women who moved to Paris in the first four decades of the 20th century traveled there to change their lives. In the process, they changed much more than that. Their story is sumptuously illustrated by the National Portrait Gallery’s sweeping exhibition “Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900-1939.”
One well-known saga of Americans in Paris in those years is exactly what curator Robyn Asleson intends to counterbalance. In her catalogue essay, she writes that “focusing on the accomplishments and experiences of women brings into view a very different picture from that conveyed by the male-centered Lost Generation legend.”
Some of the subjects of this exhibition, it’s true, are known for their links to famous men. Bookseller Sylvia Beach published James Joyce’s “Ulysses” when no one else would, and author Gertrude Stein is represented in the show by a notable portrait painted by Pablo Picasso.
Yet Beach and Stein helped construct a world largely independent from men. As lesbians, along with more than a few of their fellow American expatriates, they were able to live women-centered lives in Paris that would have been improbable, if not impossible, in the United States. This freedom was facilitated by a privilege many of them shared: inherited wealth......."

"Perhaps no place and time has captured the American imagination more than Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. Certainly for one group of remarkable women who moved across the Atlantic before World War II, Paris offered a life-changing allure. Robyn Asleson’s “Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris 1900-1939” highlights the lives and work of 57 of these women, including artists, writers, publishers, entertainers, designers, collectors and salonistes. The book is being published to coincide with an exhibit running at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery through February 2025......"
