Porapara Space For Artists

Welcome to the Porapara Space for Artists, an artist-led organization that supports emerging artists in their efforts to challenge modernist traditions and norms by framing new ideas and expressions.

Founded in 2004 by Abu Naser Robii with the active cooperation of Joydeb Roaja, Hasna Hena Parash, Lucky Barua, Raihan Ahamed Rafi, and Satadat Barua, Porapara Space for Artists has been providing a platform for young and emerging artists from Chittagong and other areas to engage with contemporary art practices.

Supported by artists like Dhai al Mamoon, Moinul Alam, Mahbubur Rahman, and Tayeba Begum Lipi, the organization has organized 95+ events including artist workshops, artist talks, critical discussions, exhibitions, and art camps from 2004 to 2018.

Although the organization had to pause its activities in 2019 due to challenging situations and some unavoidable issues, Porapara Space for Artists is now starting with a new look and a new concept. We will soon reopen our new programs to impact the future of the art era nationally and internationally.

We are excited to continue our mission of providing a space for experimentation, collaboration, and critical dialogue between artists and their audiences. We believe that by working together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for artists to showcase their work and engage in meaningful discourse.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at Porapara Space for Artists.
