Shilpakala Academy to hold Eid celebrations 1st time ever

Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) has announced yesterday (20 March) that for the first time ever, it is set to organise an Eid celebration, embracing the country's diverse cultural heritage.

The academy will host the programme titled 'Elo Khushir Eid' at its Nandan Moncho on 30 March from 7pm onwards, celebrating the 'Chand Raat' (night before the Eid day).

BSA has shared the poster image of the event with the media and is yet to reveal the details of the event; however, Cultural Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki shared the announcement image on social media yesterday, making the announcement of the event.

"For the first time, Shilpakala Academy is hosting an Eid celebration. Bangladesh is a land of many languages, beliefs, and religions," Farooki wrote on his Facebook.

"Everything in the diverse society we live in is a part of our culture. Bangladesh will celebrate it all! The politics of division are no longer welcome here," the cultural adviser wrote.

CA Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam and others have also shared the announcement image, and netizens on social platforms have been applauding the decision made by BSA for the first time ever.
