SALT IN OUR WATERS
THE SALT IN OUR WATERS
13th January - 17HS - SALA MACA - 106'.
Rezwan Shahriar Sumit (2020).
For his latest art installation, Rudro travels to a remote mangrove island in the delta of Bangladesh, a day's journey by boat and a world away from modern, crowded Dhaka. Welcomed by the local fishermen and their leader, Rudro's modern ideas and realistic sculptures enchant the village children and his landlord's daughter.
But when the local Ilish catch proves elusive, the elders blame Rudro's "idolatry" for the curse of empty nets. In this vanishing land where sea and sky merge, a storm is brewing and change is coming, welcome or not.
