Join us for a conversation with Amitabha Bagchi, author of The Unknown City, as he delves into the emotional landscapes of memory, masculinity, and missed connections.
In conversation with Supriya Nair, Bagchi will explore how relationships shape us—and how the past can illuminate the blind spots of the self. Through the story of Arindam Chatterjee, a middle-aged novelist reflecting on the women he once loved and misunderstood, The Unknown City traces the complex terrain of intimacy, regret, and the human heart.

The year-long curation of City Scripts will delve into the profound roots of our personal and public memories, histories and narratives through fiction, collections, archives, cultural practices and more.
Imagine the city as our collective garden. We nurture the seeds of our personal stories, carrying them with us and planting them in our neighbourhoods and backyards. There is always more to experience in a garden: entangled roots of our past, yellowing leaves falling with time, and the green tendrils of new ideas.
