Bangladesh’s art is such a media, which can be compared to any country’s top line art, shared speakers during a news conference held today in the capital’s Intercontinental Hotel on the eve of the art exhibition titled “Colors of Freedom”. Esteemed artists, including Monirul Islam, Farida Zaman, Kanak Chanpa Chakma, Sheikh Afzal, Shamsuddoha and Afzal Hossain, were present
In the bustling streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, a young artist's journey ignited, leading her to paint her dreams upon the canvas of the cosmos. Salbhi Sumaiya's tale is one of resilience, inspiration, and a profound connection to both art and the stars. As a hard-of-hearing (HOH) individual, her artistry has transcended barriers, becoming a bridge between worlds.
Salbhi Sumaiya, a talented Canada-based artist who also operates as MerakiStudio.Art, painted a beautiful painting of a wolf and her cub, called “Maternal instinct” , which is now destined to go to the moon.
Handwritten notes lay on the floor, on one wall a mirror, and a sculptural prop of a child lying in the middle of the innermost room of the gallery. The performance started at 5pm on July 3, 2023. This was my first time seeing the artist's performance so closely.
