Ashfika Rahman (35, Bangladesh) is the winner of the Future Generation Art Prize 2024, the seventh edition of the global art prize for artists under 35, established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in 2009. The international jury announced the winner at the award ceremony on October 29 in Kyiv.
Ashfika Rahman’s winning work for the PinchukArtCentre employs photography, prints, text and sculpture to examine the role of women in society. Often working with communities, Rahman articulates stories that have been historically silenced, not only in Bangladesh, where Rahman is based, but also globally. Drawing inspiration from territories that have been divided and renegotiated by geopolitical powers, Rahman’s work demonstrates a commitment and focus on the ideals of community building and repair in the face of collective trauma.
