Abstract: *Dates.Sites: Project Cinema City Bombay/Mumbai* reimagines the 20th-century history of the city through its most iconic public institution—cinema. Challenging rigid, linear timelines, the volume adopts a layered, associative approach to memory and history. Structured decade-wise, with interludes of artist-designed calendars, it combines found materials, oral histories, and diverse visual archives. By blending contemporary artworks with archival imagery, and prioritizing playful associations over strict chronology, it resists nostalgia and myth-making. This timeline embraces the complexities of popular culture and urban life in Bombay/Mumbai, offering a dynamic and critically reflective narrative that foregrounds memory’s fluid, porous nature.
