Remembering Partition: Unheard Stories

 

 

A multimedia exhibition that highlights unheard voices – the story of a woman still living in a refugee camp; how a city-wide Bachelors degree examination was put on hold due to a referendum in Sylhet; how two brothers travelled from Travancore State to the North-West Frontier Province for work and were stranded there at Partition, are some of the narratives. Narratives often not considered as part of popular imagination, the exhibition marries notions of history, memory, longing and belonging 

 

Curated by Aanchal Malhotra, The 1947 Partition Archives
