A feature-length documentary on Ekushey Padak-winning Bangladeshi portrait photographer Nasir Ali Mamun, titled “Mamun: In Praise of Shadows”, is set to have its UK premiere at the 28th edition of the UK Asian Film Festival.

The evening of April 3 marked the opening of the 66th solo exhibition of acclaimed photographer Nasir Ali Mamun, titled “Photoseum: Life of Poetree”, at La Galerie, Alliance Française de Dhaka.

Titled “Photoseum: Life of Poetree”, the exhibition will be held at La Galerie and continue until April 16. It brings together an extensive collection of black-and-white portraits dedicated to Shamsur Rahman (1929–2006) and Al Mahmud (1936–2019).

The exhibition presents a rare visual chronicle of one of Bangladesh’s greatest treasures, Sultan, spanning from his reclusive days in his village home in Machimdia, Narail, to his later years. Photographs, letters—many never previously seen—allow viewers to step quietly into the private world of a man who preferred to live through his paintings, labour, imagination, and solitude.
