Bengal Foundation will inaugurate a special photography exhibition, ‘Shotoborshe Sultan’, to mark the birth centenary of legendary artist S M Sultan.
The opening will be held on August 22 at 6:00 pm at the Quamrul Hassan Exhibition Hall, Bengal Shilpalay, Dhanmondi.
The exhibition showcases rare portraits of Sultan by eminent photographer Nasir Ali Mamun, alongside original negatives, handwritten letters and personal memorabilia, many being displayed publicly for the first time.
Tracing his journey from Masimdia, Narail, to his later years, the exhibition offers an intimate insight into the artist’s life.
A commemorative catalogue, ‘Seeding the Soul’, will also be launched on the occasion.
Artist Monirul Islam and Matiur Rahman, Editor of Prothom Alo, will attend as Guests of Honour, joined by Md Mahbub ur Rahman, CEO of HSBC Bangladesh. The exhibition is being organised in collaboration with HSBC Bangladesh.
