Asian Art Biennale ‘08
The first Asian Art Biennale was held in Bangladesh in 1981. Its establishment was not only to expose the public to the variety of art that is found in Bangladesh and internationally, but to support and develop young artists in their chosen field. By attending each successive Asian Art Biennale, visitors will be able to see the progress and innovations as traditional art is influenced by the exploration of modern ideas and visions. The 2008 Asian Art Biennale hopes to show the local community that tradition and culture can be used in harmony with modernity to create breathtaking pieces of art.

Nature lovers were invited to gain insight into the lives of these friendly and highly intelligent sea mammals, and large numbers of people, young and old, accepted that invitation during the four-day event.
