The fifth edition of the contemporary art exhibition "Different Strokes" has opened at La Galerie of Alliance Française de Dhaka. Curated by artist Alamgir Kabir, the show features 40 artworks from a diverse group of eight Bangladeshi artists, including both emerging and established figures. The collection spans various mediums and subjects, ranging from abstract compositions and portraits to scenes of the Padma River and nature studies.
This exhibition serves as a vital platform for artistic exchange within the evolving contemporary art landscape of Bangladesh. By removing constraints of age and rigid thematic boundaries, the event fosters creative freedom and dialogue between local artists and the public. The involvement of key cultural figures from the Goethe-Institut and Dhaka University underscores the institutional support for grassroots contemporary expressions in the region.
