Description | Despite their shared cultural, political and historical legacies, the eight nation-sates of South Asia—Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives—stand divided along national and intra-national borders by means of conflicts, wars, and brutalizations of caste, ethnic, religious, and gendered bodies. And yet, alternative imaginaries of South Asia by means of dialogue and dissent through art (film, music, literature) demonstrate the ways in which we all belong despite the borders that separate us from each other. Presented in conjunction with Tasveer's South Asia Film Festival. (tasveer.org) Join us for this free one-day event to delve into the details of some of the issues explored in TSAFF.
