WE ARE BANGLADESH, KNOW OUR NAMES

Confronted with emerging realities artists across Asia are increasingly adjusting their strategies to the global preference for new and mixed media while working within traditions where artistic expressions are seen to reflect the interconnectedness of art, society and environment. They are looking to create works that are not only socially engaged but are also embedded in the diction of the current digital age. Bangladesh has always encouraged artists to explore their social realities, cultural and aesthetic values and histories, and, at the same time, engage with the contemporary cultural and technological trends from beyond its borders. The overlap between the local and the global is happening everywhere; it is in art that it takes a stimulating creative dimension.Confronted with emerging realities artists across Asia are increasingly adjusting their strategies to the global preference for new and mixed media while working within traditions where artistic expressions are seen to reflect the interconnectedness of art, society and environment.
