Spotted a beautiful 'insect' made from reed.
Met with the British Council in Dhaka, discussion focussed on future HAT project possibilities.
The treat of the day was the flower market opposite the museum.
Beautiful strings of fresh flowers finely stitched onto cotton threads forming strings of intense colour.
I also passed these people making strings of flowers by the side of the road in Old Dhaka. Each petal is stitched onto a thread, the pink ones were so fine it was difficult to believe they could have been stitched, they were for sale for 1Tk - less than1p!
At the end of the day we met with Tarun (curator at the National Museum and artist) and Topan (rickshaw artist) the two project artists from Bangladesh.
