The Muslin Festival, hosted by Drik in collaboration with Aarong and the Bangladesh National Museum is set to start on 5 February 2016. The monthlong national exhibition will opens at the Nalini Kanta Bhattashali Gallery, Bangladesh National Museum. The history of the once-immensely popular muslin, a lightweight cotton fabric of plain weave, is being revisited through a month-long festival that opened at Bangladesh National Museum on Friday. The festival features an exhibition, a cultural and fashion show, seminar, launches of a book, a commemorative stamp and a documentary on the making of muslin in Dhaka that had been home to the finest of its clothes for centuries. Drik organised the event in association with the museum and Arong after years of research and investigation into the history of muslin and with the aim of creating awareness and exploring its future potential. Finance minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhit inaugurated the festival on Friday. Among others, cultural affairs minister Asaduzzaman Noor and secretary Aktari Mumtaj, Saiful Islam, CEO of Drik, Tamara Abed, senior director of Brac, and Rosemary Crill, senior curator of Victoria and Albert Museum of London, were also present on the occasion. ‘Muslin had clothed the world’s aristocrats till 19th century. It’s an invaluable part of our history. The organisers [of the festival] have done an excellent job by bringing to the fore the lost art of muslin,’ Muhit said.
