পঁচিশে পাঁচটায় / 25th@5
We have always believed that arts and cultural spaces belong to children as much as they do to adults, because they are thinking, feeling, deeply imaginative young people who form a vital part of our society. By making them active participants in cultural dialogues and by facilitating their exposure to art engagements, museums and galleries, we seek to foster creativity and self expression.
From this vision originated our project - “পঁচিশে পাঁচটায়” / 25th@5” - inviting children and their grown-ups to visit a new exhibition on the 25th of every month, at 5pm. The debut edition was held at 25th May at Ganges Art Gallery followed by iterations at Experimenter, CIMA, DAG Museums, Kaee Contemporary, Emami Art, Debovasha, Kolkata Centre for Creativity and Galerie 88.
Each of the editions enabled the young people to explore different artists and diverse art forms across the venues. Here's a glimpse of the sessions we presented so far:
