Fwd: FW: গল্পের সেতু – Story Bridge as part of Platform Arts’ what it means to remember
Emily Wakeling
Hello,
I’m so excited to share that my new exhibition গল্পের সেতু – Story Bridge is launching as part of Platform Arts’ first 2026 thematic program, what it means to remember, and I’d love for you to join me.
Opening Night: Friday 20 February, 5:00PM - Platform Arts, Geelong
Free event, please register: https://events.humanitix.com/what-it-means-to-remember-opening-event
On the night, I’ll be in conversation with the brilliant Shivanjani Lal, whose exhibition I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore opens alongside mine. The evening also features the premiere of A People’s Guide to (North) Geelong, an immersive audiovisual installation created with young people from Norlane.
About my work: গল্পের সেতু – Story Bridge is a deeply personal exploration of migrant memory in response to the duplicate architectural plans of the Howrah Bridge in Kolkata and the Story Bridge in Brisbane. It’s about nostalgia, architectural echoing, longing, and the search for home on unceded lands.
If you’re in or near Geelong, I’d truly love to see you there, share this moment, and celebrate these beautiful, interconnected works exploring how we remember.
The program runs 20 Feb – 18 Apr, so even if you can’t make the opening, please come visit anytime.
With warmth,
Dita

I am an LGBTIQ+ Ally
I live, learn and work on the stolen land of the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin nation. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and culture. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
