renowned Bangladeshi sculptor Novera Ahmed
Birthday special / N’oubliez pas Novera: Rediscovering the pioneer of Bangladesh’s modern sculpture
In August of 1960, on the ground floor of the Central Public Library building of the University of Dhaka, showcasing 75 of her artworks sculpted between 1956 and 1960, Novera Ahmed had her first solo exhibition titled “Inner Gaze." This formidable exhibition arguably sparked the genesis of modern sculpting practice in both West and then East Pakistan (now present-day Bangladesh). She was the first-ever sculptor from the undivided Pakistani region.
