UK-based artist Mohammed Ali’s show Bangladeshi Tales from Britain will exhibit the untold stories of Bangladeshi immigrants to Britain through his artwork at Drik Gallery on Monday.
Ali will take the audience on a journey exploring Bangladeshi immigrant heritage through projected visuals.
“I used to be very nonchalant about my heritage and culture. However, since I lost my father, I started to do some soul searching about my Bangladeshi heritage and this show is part of it,” he told Dhaka Tribune.
The two-hour-long show will start at 6pm at the Drik Gallery in Panthapath on Monday.
Ali told Dhaka Tribune that he wants to celebrate Bangladeshi immigrants in Britain through this show. He thinks Bangladeshi immigrants have a rich history, but they do not get enough exposure, making it important to document and archive their stories.
Bangladeshi musician Shuommo Saha will deliver a live performance during the show.
Ali said he is not sure what genre the show falls into, however, he thinks that is part of its beauty.
“I am calling it a sharing session, not an exhibition. There will be videos, music performances, abstract photographs, films, and speeches. I will be interacting with the audience as well,” he told the correspondent.
Mohammed Ali is a street-artist sho digs deep down to bring meaning into the public space. He has been painting street-art professionally for the past 20 years, traveling across the globe with his art. His art now extends beyond spraying murals, often including film, theatre, and performance art.
