  The Art of Independence: Visions of the Future in India and Pakistan

  

  At Midnight on the 15th of August 1947 India and Pakistan achieved their freedom from British Rule. This Conference commemorates the 70th anniversary of that independence. Artists, curators, film makers and academics stage a multidisciplinary and multi-media discussion that asks what futures did the citizens of these new nations envision for themselves.

  How might we think about the midnight hour, and its many imagined futures, in retrospect?
