A century after his birth, Bangladeshi educationist, playwright, literary critic and political dissident Professor Munier Choudhury’s voice still cuts through Bangladesh’s cultural and political history — sharp, principled and defiantly humane.

The exhibition, which runs from November 21 to November 29, invites visitors into the intimate and often unseen beginnings of animated storytelling—before the polish, before the frames move, before the films exist.

Jahangirnagar University’s Selim Al Deen Open Stage will host a three-day theatre festival titled “Nobin Boron” under the banner “Let the new charioteer arrive on the stage of a turning age.” Organised by Jahangirnagar Theatre, the event — called “Jagoroni” — opens Today and will present three full productions free to the public.

Describing such comments as “farcical”, the adviser urged critics not to behave like the fictional ‘Amin Chairman’, who feared television simply because it was unfamiliar. He shared an anecdote about a friend whose East German father once covered her eyes upon seeing Barbie dolls, fearing they would “corrupt” her — likening this to modern-day discomfort with drone shows.

Another chief guest, artist Kazi Mozammel Hossain, said the exhibition not only expresses the artists’ admiration for Jibanananda Das but also brings forth the everlasting beauty of Bengal’s nature on canvas.

A self-portrait by legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo sold for $54.66 million in New York on Thursday, setting a new record for the price of a painting by a woman, the auction house Sotheby's said.

Chhayanaut general secretary Laisa Ahmed Lisa said in a release that the night will feature songs by five traditional lyricists, including Lalon Sain and Manmohan Dutta.

Rajshahi University is set to host the fourth edition of the “Kothashahityik Hasan Azizul Haque Theatre Festival”, beginning on Friday and continuing until Tuesday. The five-day event is being organised to mark the 44th founding anniversary of the university-based theatre troupe Somokal Natyochokro.

There was a time when Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed found herself facing one of the most challenging phases of her life. In the middle of that chaos, theatre entered her world — offering a rare sense of hope and peace just when she needed it most.

The central Paris museum—often compared to Madame Tussauds in London—already features figures of Charles, now King Charles III, and Queen Elizabeth II. Diana, however, had long been absent despite her enduring association with the city where she died in a car crash in August 1997.

In the quiet corners of Alliance Française, a small cluster of canvases invites viewers into a Dhaka that no longer exists — or perhaps one that exists only in memory. In “City of Memories”, Kazi Salahuddin Ahmed turns the familiar chaos of our own Old Dhaka into intimate, abstract landscapes, painted to recall the magic of the city.

The invitation marks a significant moment for Bangladeshi theatre scholarship, placing a local academic voice at one of the region’s most influential platforms for performance research, collaboration and pedagogy.

As a child in art school, I was known to my painting teacher as the student obsessed with landscapes. I might not have bloomed into a remarkable landscape artist, but fast forward to 2025 – after work, I dragged my exhausted self to Dwip Gallery in Lalmatia just to witness the landscape art exhibition they are currently hosting.

Alamgir describes the play as a reflection on the uneven burdens that societies place on their most vulnerable members.

Alliance Française de Dhaka has inaugurated “City of Memories”, a solo exhibition featuring 140 miniature paintings by acclaimed artist Kazi Salahuddin Ahmed. The show opened yesterday, at 11am at the organisation’s Gulshan Gallery.

The play examines four central tensions of contemporary life: mounting pressures, psychological unrest, fragile relationships and profound isolation. Through these elements, “Bhasane Ujan” presents a tightly focused portrait of an individual wrestling with conscience and existential doubt.

“The Soul of Jute” invites visitors to engage with the material’s deep roots in Bangladesh’s heritage and its growing relevance in sustainable design. The exhibition positions jute not only as an agricultural product but as a bridge connecting craft, culture, and tourism—reflecting the work of local artisans and the imagination of contemporary designers.

The ovation was so prolonged that the play paused momentarily before Felton could deliver his first line, “I need a favour.” The moment marked a homecoming for the actor who had grown up on screen as the silver-haired Slytherin, now returning to portray an older, more complex Draco in the stage adaptation.

On November 10, 2025, Batighar Theatre Troupe staged its 26th performance of the political play “Monkey Trial” at the Experimental Theatre Hall of the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.

“Kichcha” — a narrative form rooted in moral tales, Puranic legend and everyday village life — dominated the programme. Performers delivered story-based “kichcha” ballads, paik songs and folk dramas, blending myth, ethical reflection and social commentary.
