Interpreting the Partition through Poetry and Art | Los Altos History Museum

Enjoy original poetry readings alongside a pop-up showcase featuring artists who reflect on the emotional and cultural legacy of Partition through words and visual expression.

About The Program
In 1947, the Partition of British India reshaped the subcontinent and millions of lives, marked by mass migration, violence, and lasting trauma. This program explores how poetry and art give voice to those experiences and help process their impact.

This program ties to the exhibition, “10,000 Memories: Partition, Independence, and WWII in South Asia“, on display Jan 29 -May 24  in the main gallery.
