Bishwajit Goswami has developed a research-driven curatorial practice rooted in pedagogy and the cultural histories of Bangladesh. His work extends beyond exhibitions to include knowledge production, community engagement, and the rethinking of artistic lineages in South Asia.
He gained wider recognition through his involvement with the Dhaka Art Summit, particularly in 2020 and 2023. In 2020, he curated Roots, an exhibition that examined the foundations of art education in Bangladesh. Instead of focusing only on artworks, it highlighted pedagogical networks shaped by pioneers like Zainul Abedin and S M Sultan. Using archives and institutional histories, he presented art as a system of learning, mentorship, and social responsibility.
In 2023, his curatorial approach evolved toward immersive and experiential formats, addressing themes such as climate change, ecological fragility, and human resilience within the Bangladeshi context. His work emphasized spatial experience and audience engagement.
Beyond international platforms, Goswami has collaborated with artists, artisans, and communities, blending contemporary art with traditional practices. His research-based approach—drawing from archives and oral histories—positions exhibitions as sites of learning. Overall, his journey reflects a balance between historical inquiry and contemporary global concerns.
