Hey,

I am Khandakar Ohida (b. 1993), a visual artist and filmmaker based out of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Winner of the 7th Jameel Prize (2024) in collaboration with the V&A London and Art Jameel, my practice explores personal memories, marginalized narratives, and collective protest through lens-based media, film installations, drawings, and contemporary interpretations of miniature paintings. Visit my gallery, blog, press, and resume pages to learn more about my work and journey.
