Kromosho / ক্রমশ

Kromosho (ক্রমশ)— meaning "step by step" in Bengali— mirrors photographer and artist Munem Wasif’s immersive approach to image-making. Shaped by his long-term engagement with the city of Old Dhaka, his works drift across disciplines, tracing the city's layered histories, fleeting moods, and quiet transformations.

This book expands on those narratives through conversations and essays by Samia Khatun, Rupali Gupte & Prasad Shetty, and Tanzim Wahab, alongside an exchange with Natasha Ginwala. Their reflections span photography, literature, architecture, and urban form, thinking around facets of artistic practices across South Asia while revealing the city as both a subject and a collaborator.

Like Wasif’s images, Kromosho is about an enduring process— a dialogue unfolding between memory and place, reality and fiction, the seen and the imagined.
