10,000 Memories | Partition, Independence, and WWII in South Asia
January 29 @ 8:00 am - May 24 @ 5:00 pm PST
Following the fall of the British Indian Empire and the formation of India and Pakistan, millions of people were displaced amid widespread violence. This exhibition shares the largely untold story of the 1947 Partition through first-hand accounts, archival photographs, and multimedia storytelling from those who experienced Partition.
About the Exhibit
Developed in collaboration with The 1947 Partition Archive—a Berkeley-based nonprofit whose book 10,000 Memories inspired the exhibition—this project is curated by Dr. Guneeta Singh Bhalla, Founder and Executive Director of the Archive and descendant of a Partition survivor, and a team of designers and archivists at The 1947 Partition Archive.
