Global digital connectivity encourages multinational festivals and conferences. Sometimes they offer spectacular results, as in the Dhaka Art Summit. Sometimes they are too eclectic, with no real shared participation among the contributors. Especially for the viewers and listeners, this can be a kind of “global” tourism, often in the name of an “Orientalist” (in Edward Said’s sense) indigeneity. Such work, good or bad, must be supplemented by finding a committed way into subaltern singularity. The author narrates her own long-term efforts at earning the right to practise this. She also situates the limited scope of international language-preservation efforts. Because of the tremendous genocidal destruction – with rape as a weapon – of the Rohingyas, their children as yet lack access to the education that may produce a will to social justice for all. This is a limit which must be recognized and worked at.
