The November edition of IIHS City Scripts will feature Sadaf Wani in conversation with Tanuj Solanki, talking about her latest book 'City as Memory: A Short Biography of Srinagar'.
In the book Sadaf draws from her childhood experiences in Srinagar during the mid-90s, amidst a waning insurgency movement and increasing militarization, as well as her adolescence in the early 2000s during deadly cycles of violence in the wake of civilian protests, to explore how Kashmir’s turbulent history deeply intertwines with memories of home for its people. Wani explores the beating heart of the city through stories of personal remembrance and scholarship, examining questions of identity and belonging to craft an intimate portrait of Srinagar.

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.
