A fascinating curio of bottled celluloid dolls handed down four generations of women. A queer person’s memories of inherited queerness, represented through moving images and poetry about their mother’s nose ring, their granny’s achaar-making ritual and their Kathak classes. An audio-visual diary of a 25-year-old delving into the legacy of anxieties she received from her aaji, aai and soudi. These are some of the 12 contributions that a virtual repository, aptly titled Museum of Memories (MoM), houses, in an attempt to highlight the tangible and intangible heritage of women and queer identities.
