Field Trip to MOCA, MOG & Navhind Bhavan: Museums, Media & Memories!
Day 1 kicked off at the serene and stunning Museum of Christian Art (MOCA), where curator Ms. Natasha Fernandes gave the group a personalized tour of the collection housed in the historic Santa Monica Convent. With stories of the St. Augustine tower and the history behind intricate artefacts, students were transported to another time. The interactive session left everyone deeply inspired and asking curious questions. Next stop? Museum of Goa (MOG) – and what a visual treat it was! The students were welcomed with a documentary that gave insight into the vision of Dr. Subodh Kerkar, the doctor-turned-artist behind MOG. Each floor told its own Goan tale—through art, folklore, pottery, and installations that sparked both discussion and awe. The day ended on a cozy note with an overnight stay at Kaju Grove, a charming homestay in Gurim that felt like a well-earned break in paradise.
Day 2 began with a visit to the iconic Kala Academy, where Ms. Roxana Singh walked the students through its architectural significance and creative legacy. The final stop was Navhind Bhavan in Panjim, where students met Editor-in-Chief Mr. Vijay DeSouza. In a truly enlightening session, he unpacked the workings of a newspaper—from gathering stories to getting them in print. He also shared internship and career tips for budding writers and media enthusiasts. The trip wrapped up with minds full of memories and notebooks full of insights. Art, architecture, storytelling, and media—all in two days? Now that’s what we call a classroom without walls!
