Through images and testimonies of non-combatants who lived through the Japanese invasion of British India, this presentation will explore memories of some of the bloodiest and most significant – but largely forgotten – battles of World War II that the British Empire had to endure.

Kazu Ahmed is a Helsinki-based researcher and documentary photographer. Departing from a very militarized narrative of WWII, he travelled across India’s northeast collecting images and testimonies of villagers, some speaking about their trauma of the war for the first time.

Come and hear how people remember a war that was not theirs.
