As the lockdown and call for physical distancing continue, we, at IFA, are discovering new ways of engaging with technology and online platforms to share the work of our grantees. We are delighted to introduce a virtual series of conversations, film screenings, and performances titled Throwback Thursdays with IFA, where everyone is welcome.

On Thursday, September 24, 2020, join us to listen to Nirmala present her work on how folk songs in Haryana have kept alive the memories of the Partition of India. Looking beyond the conventional modes of history writing, she will speak about the lasting effects of the divide on the lives of the survivors, especially women. 

Nirmala is an independent scholar, folk singer and theatre practitioner based in Kurukshetra. 

The presentation will be followed by a conversation with Tanveer Ajsi, Senior Programme Officer, Arts Research, IFA.

Nirmala received a grant from India Foundation for the Arts, under the Arts Research programme, made possible with support from Titan Company Limited.
