“Partition Is Imaginary” Opening Reception

Partition is Imaginary emerges from artist and curator Rohena Alam Khan’s journey retracing her grandparents’ footsteps from Delhi to Rawalpindi on August 15, 1947. That journey, undertaken in the spirit of remembrance and inquiry, took her to West Bengal, to the India-Pakistan border at Wagah, and to the Partition Museum in Amritsar, Punjab. This exhibition is a collective reckoning with the enduring legacies of Partition and the porous boundaries between memory, identity and nationhood. This exhibit features artists Yaminee Patel, Savneet Talwar, Sara Singh, Manisha Davesar, Riaz Ali, Maleeha Bukhari, Suhaila Meera, Swaleha Masude, and Aman K. Sindhu.
