12 May The World Art Day Exhibition-2018

The World Art Day Exhibition was initiated by the Narrative Movements from India under the “The World Post Contemporary Wave” platform. URONTO Collaborated from Dhaka with them in 2018 to celebrate the World Art day on 15^th April. In Dhaka the exhibition took place at the Café Kakrail for the entire day.

The Exhibition aimed to spread Art Awareness simultaneously in 40 places all over the world, curated by 44 artist curators with the participation of more than 200 artists nationally and internationally to celebrate ‘World Art Day’.

“Post Contemporary Wave” is the first of its kind of Public Exhibition, held within a public space, meant totally for the cause of public. It is another unconventional way of bringing the art out for display in front of the local people, so that they can also enjoy the artworks created by various artists from various countries from all over the world.

During these desperate times, we often blur the similarities between a real work of art and an art itself. It is equally tough for us to grow beyond these tough times when all we look for an opportunity to create something new in an unconventional way, which can set forth the beginning of a new era. We have often seen art originating from a single sensory stimulus that can’t be compared with the so-called norms of the society. We human beings are born creative but the nurturing factors make a big difference in laying down the continuance for it. So, if we are able to bring art out into the people, we might never know what sort of emotions we can stir within the public who has no knowledge about its origin except the fact of accepting it with hearty appreciation. And that’s when the idea of “Post Contemporary Wave” came into being.

It was the first time ever in Bangladesh to have a show to celebrate World Art day. Uronto curated 7 artists from Bnagladesh to be displayed in the show, they are Easel Mortuza, Reetu Sattar, Farhana Shetu, Sadya Mizan, Sultan Ishtiaque, Shams Xaman and Shohorav Jahan. Another Three Bangladesh Artists were participating too but under other separate curation done directly from India.
