“POTential
, An effort to explore” is a unique and innovative
interdisciplinary art project by banglanatak dot com with
support of the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre under the Ministry
of Culture, Government of India and in collaboration with
ICCR. POTential is creating a platform for exchange, assimilation
and innovation. East meets West. Contemporary meets Folk
traditions. The medium of work of the six artists who presently
live and practice at London is video, photography, installation
and performance. They specialize in creating visual imageries
using new media art practices. POTential promises to be
a unique cultural confluence where eighteen Patuas from
Bengal with their scroll paintings and songs (Paer Gaan)
will work with the installation artists
