Visual Arts and Fiction? Laisul Hoque Chooses Babu Bangladesh! by Numair Atif Choudhury –ART Book...

ART BOOK CLUB is a segment where a guest suggests a book which was not written with visual arts in mind and yet is a source of inspiration, guidance and / or creativity for their work. Hosted by Joana P. R. Neves, this episode welcomes visual artist Laisul Hoque.





•

How can a work of fiction influence the work of an artist?

•

Can a visual arts practice be illuminated by storytelling? How can art practices she light on the value and limitations of archives and photographic documentation of the past?

•

To what extent do images convey the truth?

•

Is visual arts the territory where we reckon with our ties with the past, and our emotional needs?






Laisul chose: Babu Bangladesh!, written by Numair Atif Choudhury.
