An artist talk featuring pianist Vidura Rodrigo took place at the Shakir Ali Auditorium NCA, offering an insightful exploration into the relationship between music, memory, and personal history. In his talk, Music as an Archive of the Self: Preserving & Reactivating Emotional Memories in Compositions, Rodrigo discussed how emotional experiences become embedded within musical practice and how these memories resurface through the act of composition.
Drawing from his own piano work, he reflected on the conceptual and emotional frameworks that shaped his creative process, sharing how sound functioned as both documentation and reactivation of the inner self.
The session offered a thoughtful look into the power of music to hold, shape, and reawaken emotional narratives, leaving attendees with a deeper appreciation of the intimate bonds between memory and composition.
