A Thousand Thunders, Khandakar Ohida's first solo exhibition investigates intimate, political, and raw stories of women relegated to the margins of society. This exhibition features a series of drawings and watercolor paintings alongside her new film, Collision in the Wind (2024), where mundane objects transform into uncanny conduits of rage, agony, and grief. Trained in miniature painting, Ohida's work infuses a rare poetic imagination into visual narratives of resistance, challenging dominant representations of the marginalized.

Najrin Islam notes in her curatorial essay: "The voices in the exhibition call out to and connect through multiple nodes, harking to a trans-continental history of women's liberation movements through the recurring purple fabric. Figures throughout the works are poised in protest even as they are beaten down by their circumstances. The weapons take otherworldly forms in futurist anticipation. A rippling demand for justice is made palpable in arrested motion. Flowers emerge from dead tissue. There is a clamorous demand for accountability raining on power in a call for seismic realignment—like হাজার বজ্রপাত। (A thousand thunders) "
