Senses beyond vision: in conversation with Mahbubur rahman, guest curator of Chobimela VIII
Britto Arts Trust’s Mahbubur Rahman, guest curator for Chobi Mela, infuses the traditionally medium-centric festival with a multidisciplinary approach. He champions immersive photographic installations that engage all senses, aiming for a psychological shift in viewers. Rahman curates contrasting exhibits by Abdollah Heidari and Alexandra Serrano at Britto, designing a journey of consecutive emotional shocks. He sees Chobi Mela bridging the gap between fine arts and photography, pushing boundaries with workshops and diverse media despite resource limitations.
