This event has already occurred

Description

Bangladeshi photojournalist, teacher and activist Shahidul Alam was part of a group named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2018. His works shine a light on Bangladeshi culture and how it’s perceived by Western cultures, as well as how the government treats its people. Memorabilia and images from his 40-year career, including portraits, landscapes and scenes representing daily life outside of the “majority world,” are on display at the Rubin Museum.
