‘Weaving Stories,’ a multidisciplinary art exhibition that brought together the narratives of eight different projects organised by the Goethe-Institut Bangladesh was inaugurated recently at DrikPath Bhaban
in the capital’s Panthapath area.
The exhibition brought together the narratives of eight different projects realised through the Goethe Pop Up Festival 2021.
It is a part of their 60-year celebration programme. Last year as part of its 60 years in Dhaka, the Goethe-Institut Bangladesh initiated a unique venture highlighting the cultural projects from across the country with the signature name Goethe Pop Up. With a call for proposals, the venture was set in motion with ideas submitted by curators, academicians and specialists from all across Bangladesh. From a number of high-quality concepts, reflecting on the diversity of expressions and the representation of the variety of unique approaches, the Goethe-Institut selected eight curatorial partnerships or artist collectives to integrate into an ecosystem of multiple Goethe Pop Ups across Bangladesh. With an aim to develop new ideas that resonate with local audiences as well as align with the Goethe-Institut’s objectives to strengthen existing cultural relations, the exhibition fosters new and meaningful ways of cross-national exchanges with the purpose of reflecting on and producing knowledge.
