Platform Arts presents a new commissioned work by Shivanjani Lal.

‘I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore’ is a new work that explores sounds and images from Shivanjani Lal’s time spent in India, Australia, and Fiji, exploring shorelines and sounds connected to Indenture.

It is open to the public from FRI FEB 20—SAT 18 APR in Gallery Two of Platform Arts.

This exhibition is free to attend.

Join us on FRI 20 FEB from 5:00pm for the opening event. This includes floor talks with Shivanjani Lal as well as Aninidita Banerjee who opens another exhibition at Platform Arts on the same evening.

The work is a lamentation, beginning from the shoreline, and soundings that speak to histories of Indenture, grief, and the slippages caused by holding onto histories that are slipping away.

This exhibition forms part of the what it means to remember thematic.
