    As part of « Cosmopolis #2 : rethinking the human » Munem Wasif presents Seeds Shall Set Us Free II. Carried out in collaboration with the Bangladeshi research organization UBINIG, this project questions the contemporary agricultural practices.

In Bangladesh, Rohingyas refugees survive in inhumane conditions ; unwanted by the...
