Funan Arts group along with the Mahfuz Canvas from Bangladesh created a remarkable milestone in its artistic journey by organizing ‘Bijoy’, the artistic celebration of the 51st Victory Day of Bangladesh on 12th December at Dubai International Art Center. The meaning of Bijoy in Bangla is ‘victory’ and the exhibition was truly victorious in terms of bringing self-taught artists from Bangladesh to the UAE as part of the celebration. Bijoy is the biggest and the first-ever art event organized by Bangladeshi artists overseas.

Funun Arts have collaborated with Mahfuz canvas from Bangladesh to bring original artworks from self-taught artists to UAE. This exhibition proclaimed the message of tolerance and unity with which nations shall build a safe and secure future for their coming generations.

There is no other land that can host such a union as UAE as this is the land of tolerance where people from different parts of the world live in harmony and peace. Art is beyond all boundaries, and we are using art to bring people together in this wonderful land,” says Shiba Khan, Founder and CEO of Funun Arts.

Artists from twenty nationalities, who are residents of the UAE also joined them in exhibiting unique and spectacular artistic pieces on the theme of love, peace, harmony, and togetherness. ‘Art translates to love in colours, said Shiba Khan. Bijoy speaks the language of love and the greatest opportunity to speak of the love for the land, love for humanity, and love for the people are through the language our artists know best. Hence, this art exhibition is significant in many ways” added Shiba Khan.
