Artist Naeem Mohaiemen grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and currently lives and works in New York. His works intertwine film, photography, and essays to explore forms of utopia-dystopia within families, borders, architecture, and uprisings. Conversations around “nonalignment” as a concept container in contemporary art pivoted after the premiere of his film Two Meetings and a Funeral (2017), which was a finalist for Britain’s Turner Prize (2018). Art Review magazine’s annual “Power 100” list of influential people in contemporary art included Mohaiemen in 2023.

The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto published What We Found After You Left (2020), a monograph on his work.
