The exhibition marks Dass’s first solo presentation with the gallery, presenting an ambitious, transdisciplinary project centred on the quiet labour of remembering.

Borrowed from Kiran Desai’s 2006 novel of the same name, the title captures Dass’s approach to loss as a consequence of historical rupture. Responding to various forms of epistemic injustice, the exhibition explores memory as a form of inheritance that requires active engagement to endure.

This process of remembering is reflected in the treatment of family archives and found objects. Family photographs, domestic textiles and everyday objects become vessels for histories that have survived not because they remained intact, but because they have been carefully tended to across generations.
