June, residents and participants of Auroville are bringing together photographs, videos, testimonies and documentary material for a two-day public exhibition examining what organisers describe as the present crisis facing the international township.<\/p><p>Titled \u201cAuroville: An Experiment Under Threat,\u201d the exhibition documents concerns that have emerged since 2021 regarding the impact of administrative decisions and accelerated development works on long-standing ecological restoration projects, organic farms, community processes, and the continuity of Auroville\u2019s founding vision and purpose.<\/p><p>The organisers stress that the exhibition is not presented as a protest, but as a public record \u2014 a space for visual documentation, lived testimony, historical context, conversation and press engagement around one of the world\u2019s longest-running and largest international communities, founded in 1968 as an ongoing experiment in human unity. For the second time, residents will speak publicly about their experiences since 2021, what they believe is at stake, and how they say they have responded to mounting challenges with growing solidarity and collective strength.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56de932 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56de932\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WHY THIS MATTERS NOW<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5afc517 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5afc517\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Auroville was not conceived as a utopia.

UNESCO has adopted five resolutions endorsing the township, from its earliest years through to the resolution marking its 50th anniversary in 2018.<\/p><p>Organisers say that in July 2021, following the appointment of a new Secretary and Governing Board, the township\u2019s direction changed sharply \u2014 marking, in their account, a shift from a living, participatory, social and spiritual experiment toward a top-down administrative project.
