Pulak K. Sarkar is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Dhaka. His practice spans painting, text, site-specific/ para-fictional installations, and site-activating actions grounded in research, critical theory, and spatial politics. His work investigates space and structure, exploring how urban histories and spatial practices shape knowledge, identity, and cultural discourse, while analyzing the subtle mechanisms through which normalization operates within urban environments. Pulak is currently researching the liminal qualities of space as a critical zone and how built environments influence social organization.
