The Foundation

Brihatta Art Foundation, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is an artist-led platform that embraces creativity as a fluid, transformative force. Through residencies, exhibitions, and community engagement, it fosters inclusive dialogue, collaboration, and continuous learning. Rooted in the belief that art should be accessible and evolving, Brihatta connects diverse voices across borders, nurturing a dynamic and compassionate creative ecosystem.

Having had the privilege of visiting Brihatta Art Foundation in person, I was struck by the clarity of vision, care, and artistic intelligence that shape their work. Brihatta’s commitment to artists and to meaningful, community-rooted practice is evident in both their programmes and their long-term thinking. It is a rare organisation, rigorous in its approach, generous in its spirit, and unafraid to experiment. Actively contributing to a more connected and imaginative cultural landscape in Bangladesh and beyond. It stands as a powerful reminder of how transformative a truly committed foundation can be.
