Please join us in welcoming renowned Bangladeshi photographer, writer, activist, institution-builder, and 2018 Time Magazine's Person of the Year, Shahidul Alam.

Shahidul will speak about art, activism, and his new book, The Tide Will Turn. This text delves into his 2018 incarceration for criticizing the government and provides a critique on Bangladesh’s autocracy. His current exhibition at The Rubin, Truth to Power, is on view through May 2020 and explores complicated ideas of personal and collective agency in relation to a larger global view in a comprehensive survey of the artist’s work. 

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
