We found our spot on the riverside Buriganga on a strip of state-owned land covered with a dusty football ground and some banana plants. When we first walked through the narrow alley between a cabin and a house to enter the field, already a crowd of kids followed us curiously. It was the perfect spot: already engaged by the local youth and visible for all people living around.

After our one-month-long stay at Britto, we felt the need to communicate the works of our residency in a showcase at Britto Space. A lot had happened: much work had gone into the public community garden in Hasnabad, meeting the neighborhood every day, and also noticing the social changes beside the physical transformation of the place. In our exhibit, we focused on talking about these notions of change around the garden within the capital of Bangladesh – the city under construction.
