The 1943 Bengal Famine was one of the 20th century’s most calamitous man-made events, resulting from hoarding, resource extraction and unchecked inflation. Rice harvests that had sustained the population were in part appropriated by the British during the Second World War, leaving no provision for local needs. Rice stocks and local boats - crucial for transporting food from one part of rural Bengal to the other - were destroyed. Bengal’s economy could not withstand the immense pressures placed upon it and collapsed. The Famine then echoed an image of a region unable to provide for, or care for itself, when in fact this was the product of disastrous colonial mismanagement. The project uses remembrance, art, and poetry to create an interactive space in which the impact of the 1943 Bengal Famine is the central focus. The artwork and soundscapes of Sujatro Ghosh work in harmony in bringing the turbulent history of the famine to life.
