Gulf Photo Plus Announces Exhibition Opening As Part Of Bangladesh Art Week Dubai

Gulf Photo Plus is pleased to announce Undefined Territory, a group exhibition as part of the first edition of Bangladesh Art Week Dubai. Opening on Wednesday, 22 September at 7pm at Gulf Photo Plus during Alserkal Lates, the exhibition will be the first debut of contemporary mixed media at the space, and will present the work of Shumon Ahmed, Palash Bhattacharjee, Marzia Farhana, Shahria Sharmin, and Munem Wasif.

Featuring photography, audiovisual works, and archival materials, Undefined Territory addresses constructions of place, identity, time, and knowledge within contemporary Bangladesh. The works in this exhibition unravel notions of ‘territory’, whether taken to mean the politics of a defined geography, structures of language as propagated by coloniality, or passage of time as palpable to a degree of rigidity and stagnation. Falling outside traditional frameworks of understanding, these ‘territories’ negotiate the limits of the personal as contextualized and rooted within the political. Undefined Territory foregrounds images, still and moving, and synthetic materials to engage with these constructs, locating the impersonal, the identifiable, the absurd and the tangible in dialectic play.

Free entry.
