On show from 9-23 March 2019, 'Fabric(ated) Fractures' is a group exhibition featuring works by Bangladeshi, South Asian and Southeast Asian artists, and will explore 'sensitive spaces'—spaces that challenge ideas of nation, state, and territory. Curated by Samdani Art Foundation Artistic Director Diana Campbell Betancourt, 'Fabric(ated) Fractures' will also introduce new works from artists with a connection to Bangladesh.

The 15 artists in this exhibition bear witness to violence unfolding in their communities, and their work often acts as a register for this trauma, grounding the constricting present in a more porous past. The featured artists are: Pablo Bartholomew, Kanak Chanpa Chakma, Rashid Choudhury, Gauri Gill and Rajesh Vangad, Shilpa Gupta, Hitman Gurung, Ayesha Jatoi, Ashfika Rahman, Joydeb Roaja, Reetu Sattar, Kamruzzaman Shadhin, Debasish Shom, Jakkai Siributr, and Munem Wasif.

Despite carrying the weight of enormous pain, the deeply poetic practices of these artists are able to create spaces of empathy through which new modes of solidarity might be imagined.

Fabric(ated) Fractures is a collaboration between the Samdani Art Foundation and Alserkal Avenue at Concrete, Dubai.
