With spiralling Covid-19 cases, the government of Bangladesh announced a seven-day countrywide lockdown, starting from April 5. Art galleries and event spaces are monitoring the situation strictly. While most of them have postponed their public programmes, others have chosen to operate cautiously. Flowing & Static , a group exhibition featuring the works of twelve artists, is underway at Galleri Kaya, Uttara. Initially, the exhibition was supposed to take place from April 2 to 16. Owing to the current circumstances, the event s timeline has been extended to May 7, and its amended visiting hours are now from 11 am 4 pm. We have strict policies in place for crowd management, following safety protocols. We are not allowing more than ten visitors inside the venue at a time, said Goutam Chakraborty, D
