3-day performance art fest begins in city

DHAKA, July 26, 2018 (BSS) – A three-day performance art festival began on
the art gallery premises at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) here today.

BSA organised the festival with a view to presenting culture and heritage
of the capital city Dhaka to the people living across the globe.

“Cultural heritage of Dhaka has already attracted people from all over the
world… this history will be upheld through our festival in phases,” said
BSA Director General Liaquat Ali Lucky in the inaugural session of the
festival.

“Performance art, an experimental art form, is a performance presented to
an audience within a fine art context usually in interdisciplinary
way…,”BSA Fine Arts Division official Sujan Mahbub said. People of the
country are increasingly interested in performance art because audiences can
enjoy this performance directly, he added. Recently, the Bangladeshi artists
achieved great reputation by performing this performance art during the China
tour.

The festival will end on July 28.
