Alliance Française de Dhaka is delighted to welcome 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗞𝗮𝘂𝗿 and 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹 for a month-long artistic residency, bringing together music, poetry, visual art, graffiti and community engagement.
Together, 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 and 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗻 are known as 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙊𝙋𝙄𝙍, a creative duo whose work explores connections between people, culture and the environment. During their residency, the duo will develop their ongoing REVERSE project. Through music, poetry, public art and collaborative workshops, they will work with discarded objects, elements from nature and everyday materials to create new forms of artistic expression while reflecting on consumerism, environmental care, unity and our relationship with the biosphere.
