Naeem Mohaeimen is a visual artist and writer based in Dhaka and New York. In his essays, films, photography and mixed media installations, Mohaeimen excavates episodes from Bangladesh’s post-liberation history. Kazi in Nomansland (2008) is a part of an ongoing project chronicling the life of Kazi Nuzrul Islam (1889-1976), a rebel Bengali Muslim poet and the only figure whose legacy has been claimed and commemorated in postage stamps by all three countries —India, Pakistan and Bangladesh— born out of the partition of British India.Towers made of these stamps issued by India, Pakistan and Bangladesh form the core of Mohaeimen’s installation at the biennale. They are poignant reminders of a figure whose voice now lies lost in the no-man’s-land between national appropriations, trampled on by the very divisive ideologies he raged against.As Mohaeimen writes in his essay
