Getting sentimental about summer

Zahra Amiruddin

Do we mostly demeanour behind and find your memories trustworthy to a certain feeling, place, smell or person? Artist Zahra Amiruddin and musician Medha Sahi report their memories of summer as a deteriorate steeped in nostalgia. The dual creators have been best friends given they were 10-year-olds, and have heaps of memories together.

They will now be means to share these moments with an assembly during Method in Bandra. The space that is now showcasing a solo muster of Amiruddin’s photographs is set to horde an insinuate low-pitched gig by Sahi. The muster called A Slumber Summer is a perfection of a common tide of alertness brought on by changing patterns, self-reflections and growth. Adding to a exhibit, Sahi will benefaction a collection of her strange songs, featuring her newest single, Ordinary.

Long propagandize breaks, a aroma of mangoes pervading a kitchen, and afternoon naps that caused a clarity of unconcern peppered by unprepared dreams is how writer-photographer Amiruddin remembers her childhood. “Summers are a large partial of a childhood. So, for me, it is sentimental and packs a clarity of yearning for a things we miss. we wish that around a exhibition, others can report and move their stories together, too,” she explains.

“While we was flourishing up, my grandfather would write poems in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and English, and his children [her father and uncles] used to put them to music. Every family eventuality was filled with music, singing and chaos. Music has always been a outrageous partial of my life,” recalls Sahi, who describes her song as girly, though romantic and honest but a frills and difficult lyrics. She hopes that listeners will know a story behind her song as she writes about relatable subjects. Hence a manuscript title, Ordinary. Sahi’s new singular by a same name is about how we are told to live a special, large and shrill life. This life that’s full of still adore and pointed sorcery is somehow, a letdown. The lane celebrates paltry things and asks questions like what we would do if we only lived typical happy lives, she elaborates.

Both friends accost from opposite walks of life, and wish that this partnership will move out a commonality between them. “I feel  Medha’s voice is all that we would report as nostalgic. One of a friends beautifully quoted that her voice is an heard countenance of my visuals. Her song is so unreal that we wouldn’t have any other chairman sing in a backdrop during my exhibition,” asserts Amiruddin.

On: May 28; 8 pm; (the muster continues compartment Jun 15) during Method Bandra, St Sebastian Colony, Bandra West.
