Join us for a screening of Priyanka Chhabra's film — Iqraar-naama (The Agreement) at the MayDay Bookstore in collaboration with Himal Southasian.

In the grand narrative of the Partition of Punjab in 1947, Iqraar-naama is a film about the 'refugee', 'migrant', and 'displaced person' as the protagonist of their own story. Told through a collection of documents from the personal archive of Charandas Bangia, a Partition refugee from Lyallpur, Pakistan who finally settled in Amritsar, India.

The film's director will be in conversation with Kamayani Sharma, a writer, podcaster and translator focusing on visual art, culture and media.

Join us for an evening of mind-opening conversations about a film that de-centers historical narratives from the state to the citizen, from state archives to personal archives, looking at history from the perspective of those who experience it.

Venue: MayDay Bookstore
Time: 5:30 PM
Date: 10 August 2024, Saturday
