Referencing the Ashmolean’s archives and the endangered Sundarbans mangroves, Surovi addresses the climate crisis through roughly 40 works of art including intricate paintings, a 30-foot scroll, and a live ephemeral drawing completed on the gallery walls.

Part of the Ashmolean NOW series, Soma Surovi Jannat is the first Bangladeshi artist-in-residence at the Ashmolean. Through these imagined landscapes, Surovi critiques the link between natural disasters and social inequality, reflecting on the urgent environmental threats facing Bangladesh.
