About the event
Opening on Friday 26 August is a new exhibition at the Deakin University Burwood Library. Called ‘From the Heart of Bangladesh’, the exhibition showcases the carefully curated works of Bangladeshi master artists from the personal collection of Nira and Atiq Rahman, a Bangladeshi-Australian couple.
These artworks uniquely capture the heart and soul of Bangladesh, its people and its rich culture that has spanned centuries. With the hope of fostering a deeper conversation on how we can enhance our cultural understanding and empathy to connect better with others, this exhibition is more than just a showcase of art from Bangladesh. It is a celebration of this year’s anniversary of the 50 years of bilateral diplomatic relationship between Bangladesh and Australia, as well as the beauty of a culturally diverse community.
