In remembrance of Agha Shahid Ali's 10th death anniversary, The Arshinagar Project presents Nei Thikana-r Dak Ghar (The Post Office of Lost Maps) - a proto-performance, presented by Arka Mukhopadhyay who will be accompanied by Qawwali singer Saqlain Nizami. Using fragments from "The Country Without a Post Office", snatches of Tagore's "The Post Office", and other texts by, for and about Shahid and Kashmir, Arka Mukhopadya unravels a performance that exists, and perhaps will exist, only in the mind. From the different strands of this unborn performance come musings on freedom, violence, and a lament for beauty.

 

The event lasts one hour.
