Based in Dhaka and Thakurgaon, Bangladesh, Kamruzzaman Shadhin’s participatory practice incorporates installation, performance, video, and public art interventions exploring themes of migration, environment, and history. Shadhin’s work is shaped by his interactions with the people and communities he collaborates with, as well as his research of the materials he uses in his process. A deep interest in the community traditions in Bengal region and their connection with geopolitics, ecology and colonial history has become a major part of his artistic research and journey. He is the founder of the Gidree Bawlee Foundation of Arts, an organization focused on social practice and community art based in the village of Balia in Thakurgaon.
