Décrivez les principales caractéristiques de la mesure/initiative:
Alserkal Avenue and the Samdani Art Foundation both champion homegrown talent in their respective regions. This collaboration Fabric(ated) Fractures, not only highlighted the importance of patronage but brought awareness to Bangladeshi and south Asian art and culture to Dubai – home to many people from our part of the world. The exhibition was also a platform to amplify the voices of artists from Bangladesh and South and Southeast Asia, to explore ‘sensitive spaces’ – spaces that challenge ideas of nation, state, and territory. Curated by Foundation Artistic Director Diana Campbell Betancourt and Chief Curator of Dhaka Art Summit, the exhibition featured works by 15 artists including community-based artworks that build on Alserkal’s mandate to support regional talent and to foster a growing South to South dialogue.
