Marina Tabassum is gearing up for her turn as the 24th designer of the Serpentine Pavilion in London. In the lead up to the summer’s most anticipated single-stage exhibition, she spoke in an additional preview of her forthcoming concept titled ‘A Capsule in Time.’
Tabassum says: “The idea was to connect it to where I come from [Dhaka, Bangladesh], where we have these makeshift structures made out of bamboo and fabric. We call them Shamiana, and it’s about the translucency of the light and daylight coming through it; if you’re coming on a nice, sunny day, it should cheer you up. I’m really hoping that people will come together, connect, and that everybody enjoys it.”
The 2025 Serpentinite Pavilion commission opens on June 6th in London’s Kensington Gardens.
