Bishwajit Goswami is an artist, art educator, and curator whose practice centers on six foundational elements – মা | Ma, মাটি | Mati, মানুষ | Manush, ভাষা | Bhasha, স্বদেশ | Swadesh, প্রকৃতি | Prokriti (Mother, Earth, People, Language, Motherland, Nature). Through multidisciplinary approaches, he explores how these elements shape collective identity. His work emphasizes collaboration, site-responsiveness, and sustained dialogue with artisans and communities – both locally and globally. Across both making and curating, he advances shared authorship, re-situating traditional forms within contemporary frameworks through processes of exchange. This philosophy extends into his curatorial projects Roots (2020) and দ্বৈধ | Dyoidho (A Duality) (2023) at Dhaka Art Summit, foregrounding intergenerational knowledge, archival memory, and layered cultural narratives.
Bishwajit serves as Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka, and is co-founder of Brihatta Art Foundation, engaging critical pedagogy grounded in lived realities. He has exhibited in several international forums, such as Asia NOW 2024 in Paris; Paris Internationale 2023; London Design Show 2022; 58th Venice Art Biennale in 2019; the Dhaka Art Summit (2023,20, 18,16, 14, 12); the Asian Art Biennale of Bangladesh (2018, 16, 14, 12, 10, 08); the Beijing International Art Biennale (15, 12); the Setouchi Triennial Japan 2013; the Kunming International Art Biennale (18,16,14). Through projects such as হাজারীবাগ | Hazaribagh (A Thousand Gardens) and বৈঠক | Baithak, he continues to explore collective making as a living cultural practice.
