Sunny's solo exhibition at Drik

Exhibition at Drik Gallery

To mark the 36th anniversary of Bangladesh-Thailand diplomatic relations, the Embassy of Thailand in Dhaka organised a twelve-day exhibition on the works of 27 artists, one of them from Thailand, at the Drik Gallery in the city.

It was in 1989, a small group of people set up a picture agency in the unlikely location of Dhaka named Drik. The name 'Drik', the Sanskrit word for vision, the agency set out to represent a group of media professionals that other agencies did not cater for, practitioners living and working in the majority world.

“A picture is worth a thousand words. Many people ask us about our work and we answer as best as we can. But photos tell stories that words cannot. The photos were taken over the last year or so. They were displayed at an exhibition in Dhaka in June. We decided to bring the pictures to a wider audience.
