This exhibition brings together 9 Bengali artists based in Australia who explore the enduring impact of British colonialism on Bengali identity. The colonial partition created between Bangladesh and West Bengal divided the region along cultural and religious lines. The artists are motivated to untangle colonial legacies to collectively reimagine these boundaries through a nuanced perspective on identity within the diaspora.
