Home is a site of both memory and desire. As an artiste, Moushumi's work has revolved around questions of home; what is home and where is it, she keeps asking. This concert will be in two segments. The first part will be about the little things that make our little homes. Moushumi will begin as if gently humming to herself, as if telling bedtime stories to her child. Tajdar, an old friend, knows the nooks and corners of her home and knows where to place himself within her songs of memory and desire. But slowly she will start to move out into a wider space. It is the dawn of Ekushe February, the language martyrs' day on the 21st, and the sun is slowly rising on her Chitrakar's canvas. He is caught between homes and trying to picture a homeland made of fragments of homes.

Pushan Ayyub will start the second segment by delving into his personal archives to interweave oral history with visual memories and poetry. From Ekushe (1952) to Ekattor (1971) and beyond, he will take us with him on a journey to briefly chronicle the birth of a new homeland.

Picking up from where Pushan will leave off, Moushumi and Tajdar will sing about the birth, death and rebirth of the dream of this larger home and the homeland, and about the place of the little home within that larger home.
