Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) announced on Thursday that, for the first time, it will 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 March 30 from 7:00 pm onwards, marking Chand Raat (the night before Eid).
BSA has shared the event’s poster with the media but has yet to reveal further details. However, Cultural Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki announced the event on social media on Thursday, posting the promotional image.
“For the first time, Shilpakala Academy is hosting an Eid celebration. Bangladesh is a land of many languages, beliefs, and religions," Farooki wrote on Facebook.
“Everything in the diverse society we live in is part of our culture. Bangladesh will celebrate it all! The politics of division are no longer welcome here," he added.
CA Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam and others also shared the announcement, while netizens have been applauding BSA’s decision.
