The PinchukArtCentre in Kyiv, Ukraine has announced Ashfika Rahman as the winner of the Future Generation Art Prize 2024. Rahman, who is thirty-five and based in Bangladesh, is the seventh winner of the biannual global art prize for artists under thirty-five. She receives a total of $100,000: $60,000 as a cash prize, and $40,000 to fund their artistic practice.
Rahman was recognised for her work examining the role of women in society, often working with local communities in Bangladesh to give voice to marginalised stories that have historically been silenced. She makes use of photograpy, alongside prints, text and sculpture, and engages with historical archives to examine how the past can be recontextualised through contemporary media.
