This multimedia installation explores the notion of home and memory
Artist Dhiraj Rabha has created a multimedia installation titled 'Reminiscences of Home' that explores the personal histories and memories of former ULFA members living in a camp in Goalpara, Assam. The project uses interviews, archival materials, and audio-visual elements to document the untold stories of individuals who surrendered their arms and transitioned to civilian life.
Why it matters
The installation provides a humanizing perspective on the complex socio-political history of insurgency in Northeast India, bridging the gap between the lived experiences of former militants and the public's perception.
Dhiraj Rabha will never forget his conversation with Malati Rabha, a former member of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). “As a child, she wanted to be a nurse because she would see a nurse wearing a white dress visiting her village, and wanted to wear one too,” says the Assam-based artist, who is in Bengaluru to set up Reminiscences of Home , a multi-media installation that reflects on the notion of home and the memory of the community residing in a Goalpara camp for former ULFA members.
