My father? How do I love a mother no longer here? Can I see myself? What does it mean to be Bangladeshi? What is a border? Innately hopeful and resolutely strong, Fariha's voice turns to the optimism and beauty inherent in rebuilding the self, and in turn, the world that the self moves through. Ubiquitous to the human experience, \u003ci\u003eSurvival Takes a Wild Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e is an illuminating breath of fresh air from a powerful poetic voice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFariha Rs匤 is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Ontario, Canada.
