The Silent Journey and The Warrior’s Spirit, both by Tilottama Chowdhury, together tell a compelling story of cultural continuity and strength. The Warrior’s Spirit honours the enduring power of traditional dance in West Bengal, where a performer embodies the strength of Goddess Durga through the intricate and vibrant attire of the Chhau dance. Both pieces celebrate resilience in the face of change—whether it’s the quiet endurance of a fading tradition or the powerful continuity of cultural expression through art. Together, they remind us that heritage is not only something to be preserved but also something to be lived and embodied, passed down through generations and never forgotten.
