Upcoming artist: Mohammad Obaydul Kabir 

until September 2025

„Art has always been more than a practice for me, it is a way of life, a way of seeing, and a form of resistance. Growing up in a rural village, I found my first inspirations in tradition, community, and the landscape around me“. 

Kabir has studied ceramics at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, to connect deeply with his cultural roots and rural heritage. A desire to explore new creative possibilities took him into digital media, where he later earned an MFA from Rabindra Bharati University, India, through a fully funded ICCR scholarship. His artworks often reflect his deep-rooted values, drawing on themes of human rights, environmental consciousness, and national history, particularly the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971. HIs work also speaks out strongly against terrorism, fundamentalism, and all forms of violence that threaten peace and humanity.
