Shubho Saha
Shubho Saha (Bangladesh, b. 1982) is a Dhaka-based interdisciplinary artist, a founding member of the artist collective Back ART Foundation, and the director of the Dhaka Live Art Biennale (D’LAB).

His artistic practice engages with architectural and mythological histories and the effect of emergent consumerism upon urban landscapes.
