Jothashilpa

যথাশিল্প Jothashilpa (A Centre for Traditional and Contemporary Arts) Jothashilpa - a centre for traditional and contemporary arts, has started its journey for enhancement of arts practices in Bangladesh. It has been working as a melting pot where various categories of arts (such as fine art, folk art, native art, crafts etc.) are being juxtaposed and together they create a new art language of our own. Jothashilpa is a Bengali word which means ‘proper art’ or ‘applied art’. Sometimes it is also used to connote ‘synonymous of art’. Jothashipla believes that art is very integral part of life and society. So, they have decided to work with special focus on living styles of human being around the world and aesthetic senses which emerge from everyday life practice in society. It has four wings to execute its programs: 1) Research and Publication 2) Crafts or Art of Everyday 3) Training and skill development 4) Event and workshops We invite you to join us and share your creative journey with Jothashilpa. We are open to creative collaborative projects.
