Overview

Bow Arts is delighted to present a solo exhibition by Laisul Hoque, winner of the 2025 East London Art Prize, at the Nunnery Gallery.

Hoque will premiere a new installation, film, and works on paper, exploring microhistories and personal memory alongside the context of political shifts and turmoil in Bangladesh.

In this exhibition, Hoque invites audiences to explore the idea of ambient citizenship. Following a year spent between London and Dhaka – where Hoque was born and has family – the gallery will be transformed through an intimate installation, with new film and sound works transporting and immersing our senses alongside works on paper.

Hoque’s installations and films are informed by intimate conversations and created in collaboration with communities connected to these narratives, forming an experiential autobiography that opens into a wider collective story. True to Hoque’s participatory practice, which often uses food as a sensory bridge of connection and collaboration, events will be a key part of the exhibition, including partnerships with other charities local to Bow and evenings marking the breaking of the Ramadan fast.
