Herstories and histories haunt us, in this issue of Rungh.
In her exhibition at the Gardiner Museum, Heidi McKenzie brings to light Indo-Caribbean herstories while Ramabai Espinet reflects on these missing, but essential linkages to the present.
Henry Yu tells us about his family and the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act. You will remember it long after you finish reading it.
Phinder Dulai reviews Harrowings, a new collection of poetry by Cecily Nicholson about Black Agrarianism in post-slavery times. Jordan Abel too visits the land, Indigenous land, in an excerpt from his new collection of poetry, Empty Spaces. Maryam Gowralli publishes her new Desh Pardesh-inspired poems as Rungh embarks on activating the Rungh archive related to Desh Pardesh.
Alongside images from the art of Parviz Tanavoli, Amyn Sajoo makes us think about Islamic Studies in his book review. Varda Nisar reminds us that missing contexts lead to flattened narratives in her review of artist Nalini Malini’s exhibition, Crossing Boundaries.
At Rungh, it is hard to forget.
