The decline in river water and how we are losing our natural resource has been beautifully portrayed through “Nodi Nebe!” –a photography exhibition by Kakoli Prodhan. This is a plea to save rivers, as they have life too.  

Co-curated with The South Asia Gallery Collective, the museum will celebrate the contribution of the South Asian community in the UK. It will further encourage the younger generations to learn more about South Asian heritage and culture.

During the workshop, the eight artists –Dina Zaman, Sadia Hussain Ether, Abir Shome, Syed Tareq Rahman, Jewel A. Rob, Sanjid Mahmud, Rupam Roy, Emran Sohel produced art pieces along with the kids of Shishupolli. Dina herself wore full white clothes and asked the kids to paint on them. They also painted with the art supplies they received at the workshop. It ended with a small cultural program by the residents of Shishupolli.

Daagi’s latest exhibition, which has been titled “Zero Calorie”, tries to re-explore our contemporary issues, questioning and reminding us of the usual narratives which are underlyingly problematic and collectively ignored. For instance, even their choice of words in the exhibition title and note has a metaphorical meaning too.

The workshop will feature eight emerging Bangladeshi artists with their 2D, collaborative, and collective artworks.

The event was dedicated to the loving memory of Indian developmental feminist activist, poet, author and social scientist, Kamla Bhasin.

The event kicked-off with the Embassy’s Cultural Attache, Sharlina Hussain-Morgan delivering the opening remarks.

DAS 2023 was a blast that left us with more appreciation and appetite for art. Two years will go by soon and before we know it, DAS will be back in 2025 hopefully, with a bigger burst of emotions, skills, and creativity.   

Whether it is context, knowledge or simply to take part in the dispersion of intellectual property, more people are now visiting art exhibitions. Last weekday’s visit to DAS showed exactly that, with the authority even having to almost prohibit taking pictures of artworks.

Visiting the DAS on its fifth day, I had a wonderful experience of watching this performance live. While walking through the gallery, I was fascinated by the thunder noises and the soft sound of raindrops hitting the ground. It took me a while to find the pavilion, and by then there was a small group of visitors circling the performance.
