In Dhaka, Bangladesh, artist Bishwajit Goswami creates a powerful new installation that captures the spirit of his homeland鈥檚 rivers.
In Dhaka, Bangladesh, artist Bishwajit Goswami creates a powerful new installation that captures the spirit of his homeland鈥檚 rivers; lifelines darkened by pollution, yet still full of energy, beauty, and memory.
Reporter Sahar Zand follows Bishwajit as he prepares for a major international exhibition in Paris. From his artist-led rooftop community space in a former tannery, to the crowded, chaotic riverbanks of Dhaka, Sahar traces the origins of a deeply personal artwork shaped by conversations, rituals, and found materials gathered along the river鈥檚 edge.
Through black electricity cables, scraps of vibrant sarees, and whispered fragments of riverside life, Bishwajit鈥檚 piece becomes a living, evolving map, reflecting not just Bangladesh鈥檚 waterways, but the pulse of identity, ceremony, and change flowing through them.
