Performing the Bengal Borderlands:
Music, Movement, and Encounter

The University of Chicago’s South Asian Sound Interventions Series (SASI) will host a week of events from February 11-16, 2013 focused on performance across the Bengal Borderlands. Musicians, activists and scholars from South Asia, Europe and the United States will come together to discuss, perform, and imagine situated alliances, encounters, and mobility affordances in the region spanning Bangladesh, the states of Northeast India, West Bengal and beyond. Our events coincide with the opening of a temporary exhibit at the Smart Museum of Art: The Sahmat Collective: Art and Activism in India since 1989.
