Session

Landscapes of Memory:

Tishani Doshi and Carlo Pizzati in conversation

Location and landscape inform the work of Tishani Doshi and Carlo Pizzati. In this evocative session, they talk about how the landscapes they share, the Little Dolomites of Northern Italy and the coast of Tamil Nadu, both ground and displace them, how exile, nostos, hiraeth and homecoming form bridges in their life and fiction.
