This year marks 75 years since the Partition of India in 1947, which created Pakistan, and eventually, Bangladesh in 1971.

Pritika Chowdhry’s experiential art installations are temporary 'anti-memorials' to the Partition.

Often described as the Holocaust of South Asia, the Partition triggered the largest migration in human history with over 20 million people displaced, approximately 2 million killed and over 300,000 women were abducted in the communal violence that ensued.

The exhibition addresses the many facets of the Partition from a counter-memory perspective through experiential art installations.

The title alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been elided from mainstream discourses of the Partition.
