You are invited to a talk by our newly appointed SASI faculty associate, Dr. Adrienne Fast, Curator of Art and Visual Culture at the Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford. Dr. Fast’s talk, titled “Hungry Bengal,” looks at the 1943 Bengal Famine which was once referred to by the BBC as one of the “things we forgot to remember.” Today, these events are little known or understood outside of India itself.
Please join us for a historical (and art historical) journey through one of the most important, and overlooked events that helped determine the outcome of World War II.
Tues, Nov 5
5-7 pm
Abby F125 (South Asian Studies Institute), U House
Light refreshments will be served, all are welcome and please feel free to share the invitation with others. To rsvp, please email sasi@ufv.ca.
