Abstract: Exhibition Text for Debjani Banerjee's Jalsaghar, Glasgow CCA, September - November 2024. \n \nThe text discusses Banerjee's practice, situating it with historical framings and concerns of Bengali diaspora in the UK (such as nostalgia), and in the context of contemporary Bengali feminist struggles in India and in diaspora (including Reclaim the Night, Reclaim the Rights 2024). It discusses everyday dreaming and Banerjee's feminist refocusing of the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. It considers referencial gazes, materials, threads, agency, gendered forms of violence, representations and community.
