Nook Dhaka is a community-rooted art platform in Banani, Dhaka. We show work, publish voices, gather people — and put the work in your hands. A space layered with possibility, open for a fleeting hour or a full day.
Introducing Nook Dhaka: a thoughtfully designed community hub and multipurpose space — not merely built of walls and light, but layered with possibility. Whether for a fleeting hour or a full day, the space is yours — to host, to make, or simply to be.
Photography and visual art in a calm, considered space.
A quarterly publication and open calls for voices on the edge.
Artist talks, workshops and evenings of shared, unhurried attention.
An online platform to promote artists and place work with collectors.
Children from Korail — one of Dhaka's largest informal settlements — made this work, and Nook gave it the walls of a real gallery. No condescension, no charity framing: their drawings, their colours, their world, hung and lit with the same care we give any exhibition. For many of the young artists and their families, it was the first time their art was seen as art.
A printed quarterly for the voices working at the edges — photographers, writers and artists looking in from outside the frame. Each issue grows from an open call. The next contributor could be you.
Open calls, new work, program invites and the occasional quiet essay — sent only when there's something worth saying.
