Pathshala launches Open Studio Phosphenes

Pathshala South Asian Media Institute’s Open Studio, “Phosphenes,” was inaugurated on Monday at Level 2, DrikPath Bhobon in the capital’s Panthapath. The exhibition showcases the culmination of a six-month Resting Academy-International Photography Programme, where participating artists present their photography works.
At Phosphenes, viewers can witness artistic expressions that delve into fleeting connections, ephemeral legacies, and the lingering threads of memory. Featuring works rooted in diverse landscapes, from Bengal to Peru and the Middle East, the exhibition invites reflection on the shared pulses of humanity and the subtle traces left behind in moments of pause.
10 artists from various nations showcased in this open studio include: Abir Gangopadhyay, Arunkumar Marimuthu, Bastian Betz, Jyoti Shrestha, Leslie Searles Mejia, Paul-Jonas Stender, Prerna Nainwal, Ratheesh Sundaram, Reem Falaknaz and Shashwat Das.
Designed by Tanjimul Islam and Abhijit Shuvo, the exhibition space sisa thoughtful backdrop for these evocative works. Over six months, these students have been mentored by esteemed artists, curators, writers, and bookmakers across two nations, cultivating their unique storytelling voices and embarking on paths of self-reinvention.
The exhibition will be continuing till May 5 from 3:00 to 8:00pm.
