On Friday afternoon, cultural activists presented their views at a seminar titled “Review and Proposal of the Cultural Sector Budget.” The event was organised by the Theatre Artists Association of Dhaka (TAD) in the seminar room of the Shilpakala Academy.

The committee will serve until December 2026. The decision was approved during the association’s first general meeting, attended by 80 of the 170 registered members, held at the National Theatre Auditorium in the capital, reads a press release.

The organisers of this initiative believe that while there are several associations formed by theatre groups in Bangladesh, there has never been a platform solely for the rights, interests, and professional development of individual theatre artistes.
