Often calling on sites, events and bodies that don’t feature in established modes of remembering. These are always, however large or small, legitimate or off-centre, enacted as acts of imagination of past, present and futures. This paper will invite us to consider what the contours of memory work are when memory itself has become a moving force, operating across intensely layered notions of time, with the onset of dementia. The discussion will be situated by discussing women’s song (namely giddha) from a post-colonial and post-war location.
