Seminar: 78 Years of Partitioned Voices

78 Years of Partitioned Voices” is an international event commemorating the Partition of Indian subcontinent in 1947 that gave birth to India and Pakistan amidst cataclysmic upheavals and an end to British colonialism. This event is curated with a rethinking of Partition narratives to rethink the divisive rhetoric and bring together voices of academics, artists and South Asian activists to analyse the forces of creativity, soldiarities and syncretism that gives us alternative ways to think of Partition’s grand narratives.

We are delighted to present renowned academics from around the world: We have assembled a remarkable group of scholars and artists, including Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed (Stockholm University), Dr. Amrita Ghosh, Assistant Professor South Asian Literature, Department of English, University of Central Florida, Dr. Faqooq Sulheri (SOAS, UK, and Beacon house Pakistan), Dr. Aamir Butt (UK), and the renowned Pakistani American artist Hamama Bushra. Your presence would enrich our discussions by bringing together Indian, Pakistani, and Kashmiri perspectives.
