The Art Weekend in Dhaka was shown by Ekattor TV (Bangladesh). The ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Dhaka is Leoni Cuelenaere, and she is one of two foreign ambassadors interviewed for this report. The other is the ambassador of Norway. In addition to Bengali artists, Petra’s work is also noted.
Leoni says, “We organized this art exhibition to give a platform to young Bangladeshi artists. We also have other artists, a Dutch lady and an Indian photographer, but they all have something to do with Bangladesh and I think it is a very good way to show the potential in Bangladesh in the field of art.”
The language spoken is Bangla, the two ambassadors speak English. Apologies for the quality of recording, it was recorded directly from the TV with an iPhone.
