Art Bangla Foundation & Community Engagement

Following my retirement Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, I became fully involved with Art Bangla Foundation, an interdisciplinary art organization dedicated to encouraging creativity and community engagement. Through this foundation, we have organized six international art festivals (Bangla Art Festival) in the Rural area, bringing together around 200 schoolchil dren, 20–30 prominent artists, including international participants, 50 emerging artists, and students from numerous art institutions. These festivals feature installations, large-scale art projects, exhibitions, and public programs. Alongside these events, we also conduct initiatives addressing climate change, environmental sustainability, food security, and women’s empowerment. This work is deeply meaningful to me, and I continue to envision new projects that spark dialogue and inspire social awareness through art
