PhD Arts Practice Performance: Srijaa Kundu

Date: June 11th

Venue: Theatre 1

Time: 1pm



This performance is Srijaa’s first creative output for her Arts Practice PhD. Her research investigates how the body becomes both resource and repository, an archive and an agent where memory, meaning, and metaphor intertwine in experiences of migration.

From within this, a series of questions arise:

What is home?

What if home is not a geographic location at all?

How do we find home in motion, within a body that is always becoming?

And what shape does home take when held in the body?

Admission is free and all are welcome.
