PhD Arts Practice Performance: Srijaa Kundu 

Bôhon, a Bengali word meaning to carry or to endure is the second creative inquiry emerging from Srijaa’s Arts Practice PhD, “Dancing the Currents of Migration”.  

Building on resh, this work moves from the trace that lingers towards the acts of carrying what lingers with us as we move. It explores carrying as both a physical and metaphorical process: as weight, attachment, accumulation, crossing, translation, and transformation.

What happens when memory crosses a border? How might an object carry a place across?
How does the body change through what it carries?
What possibilities emerge when the body becomes a place to play and make home?

And, over time, who carries whom?
