The InvisiBellas at Bengal Art Lounge

“The InvisiBellas”, an exhibition based on a street art project that aims to shed light on gender-based inequality, opens today at the Bengal Art Lounge. Showcasing wall paintings and drawings, the exhibition will be inaugurated by Ann B McConnell, Director, American Center, and Rezwan Rahman, Chairman, Tradexcel Graphics.

The project aims to address issues which lead to gender oppression and encourage a community free from it, with the intention to raise widespread awareness. The first phase of “The InvisiBellas” took place in the Notun Bazar area of the capital, where 15 artists painted a 100 feet wall to promote gender equality through art. Bengal Art Lounge will now exhibit the outcome of this first phase, giving a space to these artists and their works presenting a street-art aesthetic rarely displayed in galleries.

Initiated by Dhaka Hub, Global Shapers in association with Bengal Foundation, the project is supported by the Edward M Kennedy center for Public Service and the Arts, and Tradexcel Graphics ltd.

The exhibition will be open daily, 12-8pm until April 9.
