Hungry Bengal
The South Asian Studies Institute is pleased to invite you to a talk by our newly appointed SASI Faculty Associate, Dr. Adrienne Fast, Curator of Art and Visual Culture at the Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford.
Dr. Fast’s talk will look at the 1943 Bengal Famine which was once referred to by the BBC as one of the “things we forgot to remember.” Today, these events are little known or understood outside of India itself. This presentation looks at the ways in which art and artists were affected by the 1943 Bengal Famine, and seeks to ask what art is capable (and incapable) of during such a profound experience of collective trauma.
Please join us for a historical (and art historical) journey through one of the most important, and overlooked events that helped determine the outcome of World War II.
Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome. To RSVP, please email sasi@ufv.ca.
