Dhaka Art Summit

dhakaartsummit2016

Friday to Monday, February 5 to 8

With the subtitle Not as far as it seems, the Dhaka edition of Safina Radio Project takes questions of belonging and home as its departure point. Responding to the practices, curatorial premises and work on show at the Dhaka Art Summit 2016, Safina will explore common grounds within historical contexts, providing a cross section of origins and their interpretations.

Preprogrammed and commissioned pieces will open up a broad cultural context for Dhaka; literature, architecture, art and music content will bring to the fore the rich cultural undercurrents of one of Asia’s most complex cities, drawing listeners closer to Dhaka as a centre for cultural discourse.

See more at http://www.safinaradioproject.org/#!dhaka-art-summit-2016/wje2p

Come and take part in Safina Radio Project conversations – you will find us by the old bus, outside the Shilpakala Academy. The programme is constantly being updated, check back each day for the confirmed schedule!

Ray’s Bar
62nd Floor, Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, UAE

The bar has been moved to the other side which is great for service and now it’s open for amazing view. The cocktails list is impressive too.

All cocktails are unique, their own recipes. They make them from heart and need a bit more time to prepare the great drinks for you.

Good news for early birds they have happy hour from 8 to 10.

Saturday ladies night no happy hour.
