Sarnath Banerjee (English)

Where Dreams Come From

May 3 2021 • 24 mins

Sarnath Banerjee, is best known for his incisive portrayal of South Asian characters in his graphic novels and serial graphic publications. But a conversation with him quickly reveals his multifaceted search for purpose and the right medium to express the mystical cities and apparitional characters that, it would seem, took up residence in his imagination and were struggling to come out and speak to all of us. At once, a science communicator, filmmaker, historian, anthropologist - artist – Sarnath cuts a rather enigmatic figure. Apparitional, like so many of his characters. Sarnath spoke to me from Berlin, where he lives with his young son, while dreaming and telling the stories of places and people in South Asia that doggedly occupy the landscape of his fertile imagination.
