This article examines how the creation of spaces of belonging resists transgender trauma in Kaushik Ganguly’s Bengali film Nagarakirtan (2017). The film drew acclaim for its portrayal of marginalized trans woman in India, whose trauma is articulated as a state of perpetual unbelonging and social isolation. However, the film’s singularity lies in taking us beyond this trauma and carving out spaces of belonging, spaces that are literal, cinematic, and conceptual. In the film, trans domestic spaces operate as visualizations of Michel Foucault’s heterotopia, a subversive counter-site where socially sanctioned spaces challenged and reversed. Heterotopic spaces in the film counter the trauma of queer/trans isolation and become sites of belonging: they simultaneously mimic and reject heteronormative domestic structures, interrogating the fixity of their signification. The visual and conceptual fluidity of these spaces and their strategic balance of the unfamiliar with the familiar are conscious cinematic strategies that Ganguly uses to resist the stasis of trauma in the film.
