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. -

Arpana's introduction to paintings cam via sculpture after her tutelage under B.K. Gura. In the main, however, she is a self taught artist. She had a scholarship for advanced course in painting in St. Martius College of Art London 1979 but chose to return after a month as she missed her home & India. Her earliest exhibited paintings of 1974, of heavy muscular and rogynous women, are in a sombre palette. From the outset, she located her figures in the Punjabi milieu adopted by Amrita Sher Gil of women with their veils and thick khadi salwar-kameez texture on which the "Phulkaries" of Punjab could be embroidered. However Sher Gil's havelis and open spaces become congestive city pavements darkened corners, and Sher-Girl's melancholic figures of the "other" Indian appropriated by Arpana Caur as the tragic self. The relative isolation of the small urban family and the complexity of Arpana's own situation , of a fraught childhood with separated parents is seen in early paintings of her mother, her grandfather, and herself of the family selectively severed and then rejoined. -
