2nd Aman Mela Stockholm (Aman (امن / अमन)=Peace, Mela (میلہ / मेला)=Festival, fair, or gathering)

Join us for an enlightening gathering at Divergent Voices of South Asia, presented by Mela Nordic! 🎤✨ This international event commemorates the 1947 Partition of the Indian Subcontinent, a pivotal moment that led to the formation of India and Pakistan amidst immense human upheaval.

In a time when divisive narratives dominate discourse, we will explore creative solidarity and unity beyond traditional narratives. This is an opportunity to engage with a remarkable panel of scholars, artists, and activists, including:

• Beena Sarwar: Notable multimedia journalist and peace activist.
• Anuradha Bhasin: Managing editor of Kashmir Times with extensive experience in human rights reporting.
• Dr. Amrita Ghosh: Expert in South Asian literature.

• Dr. Aamir Butt and Dr. Tariq Mehmood: Writers exploring themes of peace and historical narratives.
• Shaukat Ali Kashmiri: Chairman of the United Kashmir Peoples National Party.
• Sarah Gilley Fragile: Discussing normalcy in Kashmir.

Our guiding question is how our diverse voices can harmonize to create pathways for peace across borders. 🌈💬 Join us as we share memories and foster dialogue, uncovering the connections that unite us.

🗣️ Distinctive Panels Discussing:

• The role of media in building solidarity across South Asia.
• Cultural productions shaping postcolonial identity.
