‘যখন দেখি ওরা কাজ করে গ্রামে বন্দরে,

শুধুই ফসল ফলায়, ঘাম ঝড়ায় মাঠে প্রান্তরে

তখন ভালো লাগে না, লাগে না কোন কিছুই’

–মহীনের ঘোড়াগুলি (Mohiner Ghoraguli)

In our day-to-day interactions and exchanges, we often use the sound or word “EEYE” in place of something that we have forgotten.

In the light of this exhibition, for whom has the word “Eeye” been used?

Who are they?

Do they belong to that marginalized breed of human flesh and blood that does not leave a mark of their existence on the billboards of the society? Nameless and casteless, this ignored or cornered class has always been kept under our reigns, barred from societal acceptance. However, they have always played a vital role in organising the dire necessities of our daily lives. These hardworking beings with their silent footsteps have been creating the foundation on which we exist for ages now.
