In July, Alliance Française de Dhaka launched “Aesthete”, a group exhibition that brought together the creative voices of 29 emerging and independent artists. Opened on July 8 at La Galerie and running until July 15, the exhibition was positioned as more than a display of works—it was an exploration of identity, dialogue, and artistic inquiry.
The opening ceremony welcomed an esteemed panel of guests. Eminent artist Rafiqun Nabi, Professor Emeritus at the University of Dhaka, attended as the chief guest, while noted art connoisseur Raquib Mohammad Fakhrul and artist Ranjit Das joined as honorable guests. The event also recognized the support of AKHTAR GROUP, whose sponsorship underscored the importance of private patronage in sustaining and promoting contemporary cultural platforms.
