11 Feb VR exhibition by URONTO at the “Collective bodies” in Dhaka Art Summit 2020

URONTO has produced an unique VR experience for wider range of audience and showing it as part of the Dhaka Art Summit 2002 under the Collective bodies section of the exhibition.

The Uronto Residential Art Exchange Programme is one its major yearly initiatives by Uronto Artist Community, which involves interactive pop-up residencies and workshops at sites that are mostly abandoned and soon-to-be-demolished heritage buildings in rural areas. The latest residency editions took place at Dubolhati Palace, a crumbling Zamindari (feudal landlord) palace over two hundred years old in the Naagaon District of Rajshahi in Northwest Bangladeshi.

This VR project invites visitors into the space that inspired almost thirty participants from ten countries to keep the stories of this area and era alive. A small zine was distributed during the show for the audience to read and know more about the works done in the 8th and 9th episode at Dubolhati by scanning QR code. The VR experience will let the audience understand about the unconventional venues that Uronto work with, also will show how contemporary forms of multiverse artistic expressions merged into the structure.

The VR attracted huge amount of audience, they waited in long lines to see the site and know more about the works done there. Many of them shared their nostalgia about the space after they experience the VR.

The VR work was complemented with a graphical representation by Sadya Mizan, of a scroll painting (in Bengali and English), which was originally done by participating artist- Fouzia Mahin, during the recent residency which actually contains the mythical narratives in the surrounding community at Dubolhati about the Dubolhati Palace.
