Arts and culture

Experience the best of contemporary UK

We aim to present a creative and innovative view of the UK through a variety of arts and cultural events organised in Bangladesh. Whether it’s photography, painting, sculpture, drama, dance, film, music, or literature, we highlight the multicultural and diverse nature of the UK and its artists.

Art, Architecture and Design

We look to all areas of UK art, architecture and design to showcase the most exciting and best work outside Britain. With our network of partners overseas we plan, organise and curate high impact projects for long-term cultural benefits that reach beyond the immediate experience.
