Sarker Protick

Sarker Protick is a visual artist from Bangladesh, lecturer at Pathshala-South Asian Media Institute and curator at Chobi Mela International Festival of Photography. Protick makes work that explores the possibilities of time, light, and sound. His portraits and landscapes engage philosophically with the specificities of personal and national histories. Incorporating detail observations and subtle gestures the works enter into personal spaces, often minimal and atmospheric.

British Journal of Photography named Protick among their annual “Ones to Watch” and PDN listed him among 30 emerging photographers of the year. He is the recipient of Australian Photobook of the Year grand prize, Joop Swart Masterclass, Magnum Foundation Fund, and World Press Photo Award. He has shown his work in museums, galleries, and photo festivals that include Art Dubai, Chobi Mela International Photography Festival, Dhaka Art Summit, Latvian Contemporary Museum of Photography, Noor der licht, Paris Photo, and Singapore Art Week. Protick is a faculty member at Pathshala-South Asian Media Institute and East Wing Gallery represents him.
