Moni Majhi is a contemporary visual artist whose practices unfold through painting, sculpture, and installation, often rooted in the material and spiritual landscape of the Sundarbans. His works are based on research and meditate on the fragile balance between nature, myth, culture, politics, and human existence, probing how modernization and industrial growth reshape ecological and cultural identities.
Moni has done his MFA in Painting from Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata (ICCR scholar 2013), and a year-long sculpture course at Kala Bhavana, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan (2020). His works have been exhibited widely, including at the Imago Mundi Collection (Italy), Alliance Française de Dhaka, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, India International Centre (New Delhi), and the CRACK International Art Camp (Kushtia).
Furthermore, he is a founder member of Shwasmul Arts, a collective that cultivates community-based art practices in the coastal and forest regions of Bangladesh through residencies such as Nature Study and Creation, and projects like River Heritage Buriganga (Brihatta Art Foundation, supported by the British Council and EUNIC). Moni continues to engage with the entanglement of ecology, memory, and collective labor.
His works, shaped by the rhythm of rivers and soil, stand as a dialogue between disappearance and renewal, reflecting the resilience of communities living at the edge of change.
