"Belonging" echoes old Dhaka (Bangladesh), offering a nostalgic look at this city steeped in Bangladeshi tradition. Gently and deeply, Munem Wasif’s black-and-white photographs reveal lives marked by years and memories, as well as the constant motion of everyday life. It is the gaze of a photographer faithful to his country, reflecting the emotion of this old Dhaka that has already captivated more than one photographer.

For ten years, Munem Wasif wandered its alleys, riverbanks, and shops, pushing open doors to uncover the stories of families and solitary individuals: ten years necessary to capture in a book the essence of the spirit that characterizes old Dhaka.

The afterword, written by Christian Caujolle, traces the artist’s journey and thematic path, always deeply rooted in his native country.
