Reetu Sattar is a performance-based artist and filmmaker based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her artistic practice is guided by somatic intelligence while reflecting on human perception and imperceptible nature, colonial historiography, environmental refugees and the unequal grounds of labour cycles from Bangladesh. She creates durational and intermedia assemblages combining performance, text, installation, photography and filmmaking that revise conventions of theatre.

Born in Dhaka, Reetu works and lives in Dhaka. Reetu is trained in experimental theatre and film from The Royal Danish Theatre, Copenhagen. She holds a postgraduate degree in Visual Arts from Jan Van Eyck Academy, the Netherlands. Her recent exhibitions include Sharjah Art Biennial, Serendipity Arts Festival, Istanbul Biennial, British Textile Biennial, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Liverpool Biennial, and Dhaka Art Summit. Her performances have been staged internationally at venues in London, Tokyo, Copenhagen, Birmingham, Bangkok, Kolkata and Goa. Reetu’s first film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2019, and the second film, Shabnam, premiered at IFFR in 2023. Reetu Sattar is a member of Britto Arts Trust, and Dhaka-based theatre group Prachyanat has been an important part of her practice.
