The exhibition ‘Take me tot he River’ is curated by Munem Wasif and takes us to the great rivers in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) river basins, which originate in the majestic Himalayas and flow into the vast Sea of Bengal. The stories of people living on the banks of these mighty rivers in Nepal and Bangladesh take centre stage. These communities are constantly learning from the river, harnessing its benefits but at the same time having to adapt to the profound effects of climate change.
