Unbound Studio presents a three day screening event and workshop at Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharati University, Shantiniketan from 14th - 16th November, 2014

Memory is a strange paradox. It will never be the same again if much is added to or taken away from it.

Fond recollections of an unrestrictive space and involvement with the community within Shantiniketan, was unsettled by beholding the barbed wires that demarcates the private space from the public sphere, on my next visit some years later. 

How does one confront the memory he cherishes most that has transformed into something else? There is bound to be alterations in its nature, after a lapse of time. Memory is one of the most important ways by which our histories animate our current actions and experiences.

Then again, there is also the changing nature of memories. The memories of those who inhabit the space for a certain period of time are not the same as of those who have witnessed such changes over many years. Neither is it similar to those of the infrequent visitor.

In this third edition, Unbound Studio in collaboration with Center for Interdisciplinary Arts, Kala Bhavana, Visva Bharati University reviews the idea of memory, in context to changing dynamics of Shanitiniketan as a space, through a video workshop with students of Kala Bhavan from the 14^th -16^th of November, 2014.
