Our Mandate

We use the transformative power of art to bring people together, spark meaningful conversations, and inspire positive change. Rooted in the belief that art naturally crosses boundaries and opens doors for dialogue, Shunno Art Space serves as a meeting ground where artists and community members connect, collaborate, and grow. Our purpose is to keep art accessible, inclusive, and deeply connected to everyday life.

Stories of the River: Art, Memory and Community

September- October 2026

Stories of the River — Art, Memory & Community

What does a river mean to the people who live beside it?

Led by Artist Jafar Iqbal with support from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) through its METIS Programme, Nodir Kotha explores the relationship between the Buriganga River, community memories, livelihoods and the changing environment.

Through participatory art, collective making and intergenerational dialogue, the project brings communities from both banks of the river together to share stories, reflect on environmental challenges and imagine new relationships with their river.

Art becomes a space for listening, remembering and reimagining our rivers.
