Sirinagar (As Its Pronounced In Kashmiri), The Capital Of Paradise On Earth, Is Known For Its Lush Green Valley And Picturesque Lakes, But Also For Its Troubled Past And Unsettled Present. Founded In 250 Bce By The Buddhist King Ashoka, Srinagars Chequered History Is One Of Conquest And Centuries Of Foreign Rule, Characterized By Both Indulgence And Neglect. In Independent India, The States Troubled Geopolitics, The Growth Of Tehreek (Armed Insurgency) Since 1989, And The Tumultuous Quest For Azaadi Have Turned Srinagar Into One Of The Most Heavily Militarized Regions In The World. In City As Memory, Sadaf Wani Draws From Her Childhood Experiences In 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 Kashmirs 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. Her Portrayal Illuminates The Deep Wounds On The Spatial, Temporal, And Emotional Landscape Of This City Of Contradictionswhere Scenic Views Of The Dal Lake Coexist With Smoke From Tear Gas.
