Bikram Das, a street photographer hailing from Kolkata, has been nominated as an exhibitor for the prestigious 'AURA 2024 - International Photography & Art Exhibition.' This event, an initiative by Retro Kolkata Magazine, is set to take place at Nazrul Tirtha, Newtown, Kolkata, from January 13 to January 21, 2024.
Das, a final year civil engineering student at North Calcutta Polytechnic, has a passion for capturing the essence of street life through his lens. His love for random street portraits has distinguished his work in the realm of photography, an art he has been pursuing for the past five years. Originally from Nabadwip, Das currently resides in a hostel near Dumdum, where he balances his academic pursuits with his growing interest in photography.
'AURA 2024' promises to be a diverse and dynamic event, showcasing a blend of art and photography. The exhibition will be split into two segments: an art exhibition from January 13 to January 15, followed by a photography exhibition from January 18 to January 20. The event will conclude with a felicitation ceremony on January 21, where contributors like Das will be honored for their exceptional work.
This nomination not only marks a milestone in Das's budding career but also highlights the vibrant and diverse cultural scene in Kolkata. The city, known for its rich artistic heritage, continues to provide a platform for young and aspiring artists and photographers to showcase their talent on an international stage. As 'AURA 2024' approaches, all eyes will be on Das and his fellow exhibitors as they prepare to display their artistic visions to the world.
