Bearing Points
"The Solo Projects section of the Dhaka Art Summit will be replaced with Bearing Points. This new initiative will comprise large-scale thematic presentations from artists and architects, orienting the viewer towards lesser explored transcultural histories of the region, curated by DAS Chief Curator Diana Campbell Betancourt, and weaving together strands of thought from the nine other guest curated exhibitions in the Summit.
The first Bearing Point considers the role of exile in shaping regional identity, taking inspiration from South Asian poets such as Agha Shahid Ali and the Migrant Bengali Poets society in Singapore."
