DAS’s interdisciplinary programme creates a generative space for art and exchange, and it is proud to have welcomed audiences ranging from poets and story-tellers of Indigenous communities, to students from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, and staff from major institu- tions including: Harvard University, Cornell University, the Aga Khan Museum, Toronto; Artspace, Sydney; Delfina Foundation, London; Fiorucci Art Trust, London; MoMA/PS1, New York; National Gallery of Singapore; Office for Contemporary Art Norway; Para Site, Hong Kong; Raw Material Company, Dakar; Solomon R.

The five Bearing Points were in- dependent but interconnected exhibitions that wove together and assisted visitors in navigating their way through the many ideas and themes present across the DAS programme– from the exhibitions, to the talks and everything in-between. 12 BEARING POINT 1 POLITICS: THE MOST ARCHITECTURAL THING TO DO ARCHITECTS AND ARTISTS: DAYANITA SINGH, MAKSUDUL KARIM, RASHEED ARAEEN, SEHER SHAH AND RANDHIR SINGH, YONA FRIEDMAN “Architecture must inspire the people, for whom it is built, by creating spaces that incite

  • Anoli Perera's Art Displayed at the India Art Fair
    1/22/2020 Anoli Perera’s Art displayed at the India Art Fair | Home News Weekly Digital Newsletters Foreign Relations Spotlight Diplomatically Speaking Diplomatic Travel Archive Events Diplomatic Representation sea Anoli Perera’s Art displayed at the India Art Fair by Srimal Fernando, Global Editor, The Diplomatic Society Anoli Perera The New Delhi India Art fair with 85 exhibiting galleries having 90 booths showcased a variety of modern and contemporary art genres including paintings, sculpture, new media, installation and performance art was held in New Delhi from 29 January to 1 February 2015. India Art Fair, New Delhi The exhibition will present several works that have never been exhibited earlier publicly. The India Art Fair gallery walls were filled with carefully selected quality art works, paintings and sculptures. The collection includes works of many artists. One of the best known Sri Lankan visual artists, Anoli Perera with over twenty years of experience of working and exhibiting in Sri Lanka and internationally, displayed a bright red blood-like aura, at first glance life-like and life-size, but transformed upon closer inspection into a massive, imposing, solid form despite the open fragility of its construction at the India Art Fair booth. The booth was filled with the innovative work of many contemporary artists. ___________________________________________ The fifth edition of India Art Fair was held in 2013. Anoli Perera’s ‘Blue Cupboard’ theme was one of the new works which assumed higher significance before the fair ended. ‘Blue Cupboard,’ in addition to the attractive élan and finesse of art in it, also holds a key to unlock the political debates emerging from contemporary visual art in Sri Lanka.

  • In East Pakistan (1947-71)
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 63(1), 2018, pp. 59-89 THE INVISIBLE REFUGEES: MUSLIM ‘RETURNEES’ IN EAST PAKISTAN (1947-71) Anindita Ghoshal* Abstract Partition of India displaced huge population in newly created two states who sought refuge in the state where their co - religionists were in a majority. Although much has been written about the Hindu refugees to India, very less is known about the Muslim refugees to Pakistan. This article is about the Muslim ‘returnees’ and their struggle to settle in East Pakistan, the hazards and discriminations they faced and policy of the new state of Pakistan in accommodating them. It shows how the dream of homecoming turned into disillusionment for them. By incorporating diverse source materials, this article investigates how, despite belonging to the same religion, the returnee refugees had confronted issues of differences on the basis of language, culture and region in a country, which was established on the basis of one Islamic identity. It discusses the process in which from a space that displaced huge Hindu population soon emerged as a ‘gradual refugee absorbent space’. It studies new policies for the rehabilitation of the refugees, regulations and laws that were passed, the emergence of the concept of enemy property and the grabbing spree of property left behind by Hindu migrants. Lastly, it discusses the politics over the so- called Muhajirs and their final fate, which has not been settled even after seventy years of Partition. This article intends to argue that the identity of the refugees was thus ‘multi-layered’ even in case of the Muslim returnees, and interrogates the general perception of refugees as a ‘monolithic community’ in South Asia.

The calibre of the conversations was a rare happening in our region.¨ -Dayanita Singh, DAS 2016 Participating Artist 5 The Dhaka Art Summit (DAS) is an international, non-commercial research and exhibition platform for art and architecture connected to South Asia. With a core focus on Bangladesh, DAS re-examines how we think about these forms of art in both a regional and an international context. Founded in 2012 by the Samdani Art Foundation, DAS is held every two years in a public- private partnership with the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Ministry of Information of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, the National Tourism Board, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), and in association with the Bangladesh National Museum. Rejecting the traditional biennale format to create a more generative space for art and exchange, DAS’s interdisciplinary programme concentrates its endeavours towards the advancement and promotion of South Asia’s contemporary and historic creative communities.
