"In the forgotten, we find the forbidden" - Saba Dewan (The Other Song)
Every 50 years, we unremember the narratives of women who came before us. The Listening Room is a collection of songs that remembers them. The articulations in these songs mirror those of contemporary feminists. They sing about the search for respite in their relationships, their position in society, lust and worship (to god & weather). These songs dating from 6th century BCE are placed in different locations and different times in India. Subaltern songs, unlike other mediums, have safeguarded feminist narratives.
