OPENING: 6 PM, THU, 17 APRIL 2025
Birth of a Wish Fish is a multidisciplinary art project that brings attention to the coastal region of Dhangmari. Through a fusion of spontaneous exploration, visual storytelling, performance, and community engagement, the project delves into the fragile ecosystem of this unique mangrove landscape and the dreams carried by those who live beside the forest. It is a poetic call to remember, protect, and reimagine the deep, delicate bond between humans and nature.
This initiative was made possible thanks to the Metis Fund, a program by AFD aimed at strengthening development dynamics through an artistic and emotional approach. And it is implemented by Team Platform in partnership with Gol Kanon Echo Cottage and Alliance Française de Dhaka.
