It is an honor to accept Cinema Palestine Bangladesh’s invitation to make this mix/sound collage.

The original brief of the commission was that I make a playlist of selections that would connect Palestine’s struggle for liberation with Bangladesh’s and the historic solidarity between the two peoples, while also keeping it contemporary and rooted in the present day. We had a shared understanding of how the internationalist struggles which connected many freedom struggles in the past have morphed and have taken troubling shape including a turn towards neoliberal globalization. Still I had to proceed with caution and awareness of the complicity of Bangladeshi leadership and ruling classes in the same violences (and more) it once fought as we are also painfully aware of the colonial and modern conditions of power and state structures that fuel them. Today, Bangladesh is enmeshed in that colonial legacy and trauma as a modern nation-state with some devastating effects, having strayed far from socialist values, people’s resistance and liberatory aspirations that it was once led by. Here, workers, indigenous people, non-Bangla-speaking peoples, Dalits, and non-Muslims, among many more, continue to fight for better lives and liberation from many oppressions.

I decided to make a mix that could defy and reach beyond the restraints of the colonial project of border-making while also respecting particular geo-political locations, histories and moments. Instead of a sentimental connection between Palestine & Bangladesh, I attempted to trace solidarities for liberatory futures against common oppressors and (our own) complicities. And I decided to do so with the idea of “return.”

I trace the sentiments and yearnings for “return” here, not as an attempt to reach for a time or place lost, but in honor of losses that precede us, continue to remain with us and drive us in shaping our liberatory futures. As a Chatgaiya Muslim currently situated in Vienna, I am perhaps not the best person to speak for all struggles in Bangladesh, as is evident from how I have failed to include any indigenous selections. But I do draw upon my own locations and life in the diaspora, my (privileged, but shouldn’t be) experience of “return” to my family’s origins that precede me, and the strengths of the resistances in Bangladesh, Palestine and beyond that I have had the honor to witness. It is an honor to select and bring together the works of artists, scholars and people I admire so much.
