Experience Shat Bochorer Khatiyan: A Retrospective of Professor Nisar Hossain↗ through ARTCON's immersive 3D virtual tour. Presented at Gallery Chitrak, Dhanmondi, Dhaka in 2021, the exhibition marked the celebrated artist, educator, critic, and activist's sixtieth year while inaugurating Gallery Chitrak's newly rebuilt permanent space. The retrospective brought together a remarkable selection of works spanning more than four decades of Nisar Hossain's↗ artistic journey, offering a comprehensive view of one of Bangladesh's most socially engaged contemporary artists.

Explore the exhibition through an interactive 360° walkthrough and discover over 80 mixed-media artworks created across a wide range of materials, including acrylic, oil, watercolour, transparent polycloth, palm leaf, relief prints, and mixed media. The exhibition traces the evolution of Nisar Hossain's visual language through powerful explorations of the Liberation War, political violence, religious extremism, environmental degradation, social injustice, and the resilience of ordinary people. Characterised by expressive lines, dynamic compositions, and symbolic imagery, the works reveal an artist whose practice has consistently challenged viewers to confront the realities of their time.

More than a retrospective, Shat Bochorer Khatiyan serves as a visual record of Professor Nisar Hossain's lifelong commitment to art as social conscience. Produced by ARTCON as a documentary archive, the virtual tour preserves the exhibition's curatorial narrative and gallery experience, extending public access beyond the physical venue. Visitors, researchers, students, collectors, and art enthusiasts can explore this landmark exhibition from anywhere in the world on desktop, mobile, and VR headsets, ensuring lasting access to an important chapter in the history of contemporary Bangladeshi art.
