Omar A. CHOWDHURY (1984, Bangladesh) is a Bengali artist and filmmaker living between Brussels and Dhaka. Originally trained in industrial relations and information systems, he now produces parafictional installations, films, and performances which animate the ambiguities and ruptures of diasporic life. Chowdhury is an immigrant from Bengal, and this is reflected in his layered installations. His work has been exhibited worldwide and he has been the recipient of international grants and commissions. He attended the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten 2018-19.
