It is the first and only study of the belongings carried by refugees migrating across the border during the Partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. These objects, both public and private in nature, tell stories of families, society, love, relationships, loss, displacement and yearning for a home that now exists on the other side of an unnatural divide. Remnants of a Separation began in 2013 as Aanchal Malhotra's MFA thesis project, whose research was conducted across India, Pakistan and the UK, with initial funding from the graduate program at Concordia University, Montréal, and in collaboration with The Citizens Archive of Pakistan (CAP). ![]()
