Firoz Mahmud: Early Episodes II - Talk/Reception

February - March 16, 2023

This solo exhibition of mixed media works on paper by Bangladesh-born, New York-based artist Firoz Mahmud, engage his cultural and political heritage, touching on themes like war and conflict, legacies of the Bengal region, and dreams of immigrant families in new lands. The ‘Drawing Reverberation’ series of mixed media drawing on homemade papers delineate how foreign rulers from Persia came to greater Bengal for trading and preaching Islam. The socio-political issues during the Mughal era and the British East India company’s strategic colonial past are the core of this series of works on paper.
