Curator Wakilur Rahman said, “Artists and art galleries in the country were hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis. Besides, Kalakendra had to close its doors to visitors several times due to the Covid situation. The on-going exhibition can be considered a warm-up event for the artists, who are participating in an exhibition after a long hiatus.”
