Abdul Hamid Shilpakala Academy & Regional Cultural Center; A Cultural Center for The Haor Areas in Kishoregonj

Abstract

In the writings of Bangladesh, wetlands hold utmost significance since it covers a vast area, and hence has a major impact on our cultural as well as religious worships. However, due to modern novelties and cultural globalization in urban communities, we are slowly drifting away from the ingenuity of our roots. The Haor areas have a strong sense of ethnicity, and their antiquity deserves further recognition. This project will be a panorama for them to reconnect with their origins. Writings, art, and sculptures can be exhibited in the museums and galleries. Besides, they can display their diversity in traditional music, dance, and drama through local festivities and elegant performances. Learning spaces will attract students from different parts of the country where they can showcase their talents. The center will be open for the public, creating an experiential journey of learning and exploring.
