A Criticism Review

Our conversation from the release of ‘A Criticism Review’ is live.
Ashik Zaman whom together with Koshik Zaman and Azmi Kashem has founded and run the Swedish online magazine C-print. During the pandemic, Objektiv initiated a series for its online journal called Visual Wanderings.

In spite of the fact that the art scene is flourishing, many exhibitions go by almost unnoticed because of a lack of resources.
