Munem Wasif is a part of Serendipity Arts Festival’s special project “The Nights Will Follow The Days” curated by Shalmali Shetty.
The nights will follow the days is premised on the story of the haunting reappearance of a woman who allegedly returns to her home numerous times, much after her passing. She finally returns for one last time before the house she used to inhabit—a link, a refuge, an emotion, an association, an identity—was demolished. Taking this as a metaphor, the exhibition navigates across themes of spectral memories and narratives associated with spaces, places, lands, and oceans.
Munem Wasif presents his work ‘Dark Water’ a series of black and white photographs which seems innocuous at first: dark, featureless masses of water – the empty ocean at its most ordinary form, a stark reminder of what Rohingyas have gone through to escape a mass execution, for the exhibition.
