Sohorab Rabbey (*1994) is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher from Bangladesh. Sohorab grew up on the banks of the Turag river, and his visual practice stems from the engagement with the river community and his research into the political ecology of water bodies in the Bengal Delta, a crucial climatic zone of the Anthropocene. Involving into the Local community practices, evidence from field research and the wisdom of ancestral knowledge: by the act of remembering, restoring, and reclaiming- he finds his forms and materials, primarily through installations, assemblages and sculptures that bleed into other mediums. Drawing attention to the micro narratives of climate change, Sohorab re-examines colonial extractive mechanisms by distorting archives, legal documents, infrastructures, botanical images, and cartographic maps in a speculative storytelling. By doing so, Sohorab advocates for the legal rights of indigenous peoples, place-based knowledge, and more-than-human commons.
