THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY
MUSIC MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP
Dates: 4-5 September
Time: 10am – 06pm
Venue: Lighthouse Bangladesh, 41 Kamal Atarturk Avenue, Banani
Bangladesh is now gearing up to having a solid music scene, and has started going beyond borders. If you look at the local context, much of the failures boil down to the failure in management – from labels, to music associations, the media, live entertainment companies, and even artists.
Professionals in the industry are welcome, from labels to live event managers to production managers who look into the management aspect of the story in the music business. Nafis Ahmed, Founder of LiveSquare Bangladesh and LiveSquare India, will share his experiences about the journey of creating a music management platform from scratch, and how everyday there is enough room to add value in the industry.
Registration fees: Tk750 (includes lunch and snacks on both days). To register log onto http://j.mp/ MMW2015RegForm.
Participants need to send their registration forms at lsworkshop2015@gmail.com. Only a handful of participants will be picked for the workshop. From the selected candidates, some will get a scope to work up and close in producing the upcoming RockNation event on 18 September, 2015.
THE MELANCHOLY OF URBAN LIFE - A SOLO PAINTING EXHIBITION BY ARTIST SULTAN ISHTIAQUE
Dates: 4-18 September
Time: 11am to 8pm
Venue: La Galerie, Alliance Francaise
Sultan Ishtiaque's paintings have an assiduous "touch" but he has a great tendency towards experimentation with various themes and objects. As a socially conscious artist, he paints metropolitan life, capturing the diverse moments of its social bindings. He closely observes the changing socio-political and economical conditions of Dhaka city and goes on painting wounded and downtrodden people and their daily chores.
Ishtiaque portrays urban people — their sufferings, anguish, bliss and ecstasy. For the paintings for this exhibition, he has used pencil, watercolour, acrylic and oil on paper and canvas. Scrutinising his works critically one gets the spirit of similarities of tonalities — mellow and somewhat translucent. One could say that he tries to express his feelings through simple realistic articulation. Colour differs from time to time in his works. In summary, Ishtiaque's artworks reveal many a poetic aspects of our urban as well as human life.
