Aatish Taseer with Bilal Qureshi - A Return to Self: Excursions in Exile
Thu, Nov 13 at 4pm
A Return to Self: Excursions in Exile is a blend of travelog and memoir in which Aatish Taseer explores citizenship and what it means to belong. Taseer’s exile began in 2019 when the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi revoked his Indian citizenship, thereby banning him from the country where he grew up.
In his travels across the world, Taseer casts on incisive eye at what it means to belong to a place that becomes an unstable, politicized vessel for ideas defined by exclusion and prejudice, and gets to the human heart of the shifts and migrations that define our multicultural world.
