In this conversation, writer and historian Aanchal Malhotra joins Charuka on the Arts to Hearts Project podcast to talk about the stories hidden in everyday objects. From her own family’s silence around Partition to her work archiving heirlooms in the Museum of Material Memory, Aanchal shares how objects become carriers of memory, intimacy, and history. Charuka adds her personal story of wearing her late mother’s sarees, and together they reflect on how things stop being just “things” once they’re infused with memory.
