Talk

MA Curatorial Practice presents a talk with Naeem Mohaiemen. Mohaiemen combines films, photography, drawings, and essays to research forms of utopia-dystopia and transnational collisions within families, borders, architecture, and uprisings. Art critic Murtaza Vali considers Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man (1976) as “a hapless history student studying for a Ph.D., an erstwhile stand-in for Mohaiemen.” Naeem is co-editor with Eszter Szakacs of Solidarity Must Be Defended (2023) and author of Bengal Photography’s Reality Quest [in Bengali] (2025), Midnight’s Third Child (2023) and Prisoners of Shothik Itihash (2014). He is Head of the Photography Concentration and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Visual Arts Department, School of the Arts, Columbia University. 

The Artists Roundtable, an international forum for leading practitioners, is hosted by Tamsin Dillon, faculty member of the MA Curatorial program.
