PRITIKA CHOWDHRY

Written By Guest User

AUGUST 9 – SEPTEMBER 21, 2013

PRITIKA CHOWDHRY (USA/INDIA) I am appropriating the dharapatras and havans as objects loaded with ritual significance, and reinscribing them as containers of history that tenaciously hold and incessantly leak the memories of this communal strife into the present day. Each of the havans contain partially burnt books written in Urdu, the language spoken by Muslims in India and Pakistan.
