A 23-day international group art exhibition titled Where The Spirit Meets The Bone curated by Kehkasha Sabah focuses on healing, care and self-consciousness.
Eminent artists Dhali Al Mamoon, Dilara Begum Jolly and the country director of the British Council in Bangladesh, Stephen Forbes, jointly inaugurated the exhibition at Satori Academy of Arts at Banani in the capital Dhaka on Friday.
The exhibition has been organised as part of Kehkasha鈥檚 curatorial fellowship at Art Exchange: Moving Image Programme, supported by the British Council in partnership with LUX and ASAP.
The event features artworks of Bangladeshi artists Naeem Mohaiemen, Reetu Sattar, Sharad Das, Yasmin Jahan Nupur and Sounak Das with Afrah Shafiq from India and Hong-Kai Wang from Taiwan.
The exhibition also displays artworks from the British Council Collection created by Ceal Floyer, Hetain Patel and Susan Philipsz.聽
The exhibition comprises sculpture, documentary, film, sound, video game, animation, installation and performance art to address the theme 鈥楳oving Image鈥�.聽
鈥業 hope this exhibition will create a new space for artists and art-lovers, particularly in Dhaka which will lead us to a new art movement with new experiences,鈥� Dhali Al Mamoon said, adding that it is difficult to express body and soul together through artworks but the curator and artists make it possible for audiences.
The venue, dedicated to meditation and individual consciousness, helps to amplify the exhibition鈥檚 curatorial vision, Kehkasha said.
The exhibition will end on May 7.
