Enamul Karim Nirjhar

Founder and Principal Architect

There has been quite a few Nirjhars’ over the years – an active architect and filmmaker in Bangladesh trying to break out of stereotypical concepts, an art organizer, award winning photographer and an all-round creative activist applying his skills to develop a process of collaboration. With interdisciplinary interaction with the young creative he hopes to inspire human spirit.

Most would rather settle on the identity of a maverick for this restless creator born in 29 November, a decade the people of Bangladesh rediscovered themselves. With so much done and so much seen he still never fails to keep the biggest happening in his life alive in his mind – the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971 – when Bangladesh rose from the ashes to tell the world how the spirit of a nation cannot be killed ever. It is difficult to forget the war that burnt down the very house he grew up in. It is even more difficult to stop persuading near impossible dreams and realizing them, too.

It takes a very conscious decision to choose from his many incarnations, all equally successful. It takes a very conscious decision to choose from his many incarnations, all equally successful.
