Here, floating and sinking: Sumi Anjuman
Sumi Anjuman’s artistic practice emerges from Bangladesh’s conservative Muslim landscape, shaped by personal encounters with gendered trauma and the unspoken echoes of women and socially excluded identities long denied voice and presence. She wields photography as a quiet insurgency, an embodied act restoring narrative, dignity, and visibility to what history has erased. Describing her approach as “healing through creation,” Sumi engages with individuals and communities to craft multi-layered narratives that challenge dominant histories and invite re-imagination. Through staged photography, stitched gestures, textual traces, archival fragments, and moving images, she creates work that is both meditative and defiant.
