NAEEM MOHAIEMEN Artist, filmmaker and writer Naeem Mohaiemen, now based in Bangladesh and the United States, uses film, installations, and essays to research socialist utopias and incomplete decolonisation. Despite underscoring the historic errors of left-wing politics, a hope for global politics to shift towards the left-wing is always a basis for his work. His feature-length three-channel video installation, Two Meetings and a Funeral (2017), is centred on Bangladesh’s hesitant, contradictory navigation of the 1973 Non-Aligned Movement meeting in Algeria and the 1974 Organisation for Islamic Countries meeting in Lahore. Two Meetings and a Funeral is on view at Non Aligned from 4 April to 21 June 2020 at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, The Exhibition Hall, Block 43 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks.…
