Walking across the City on 10th Street from Avenue B all the way to 6th Avenue could bring one peace of mind. Not really if you look around and notice “Broadway Windows,” a display of unsettling thoughts under the auspicious patronage of the New York University: mannequins draped in nationalist flags, reminding us of the British colonial rule of divide and manage the savage. In this instance, the British savage-labeled occupied populations were the Indians and the Pakistanis. Their partition cost millions of individual lives.
Destroyed.
Some irreparably.
This display of Maya Grace Misra: Azaadi Zindabad // Long Live Freedom, showing from May 10th- June 27th, asks us to think about life, much like Hemingway’s question: For Whom the Bells Tolls?
