Look out Japan, here comes Sanjida! September 13, 2007

I definitely feel like crying now! Success can be quite a tearjerker, I tell you!

I have just received an envelop containing the good news and necessary papers. One of my paintings is going to be exhibited in a group exhibition in Japan!

I admit I am also a little confused. Photographs of works of this series were submitted for acceptance in the National Exhibition of Bangladesh this year, Not a single one was selected. I wish I could invade the minds of juries! It is ok not be selected I suppose; I mean you win some, you lose some!But I would love to know exactly why I was rejected.

It is an open secret that each contest has its own laws and flaws. And National Exhibition (which is also a contest with big prize money to win) of Bangladesh is not beyond controversy.   Anyhow, even if I am not a favourite and therefore not in the winning queue, that shouldn’t keep me from being able to showcase my work. Or should it? ;)

Congrats! And now we who don’t have access to either NE of Bangladesh or that thing in Japan desire to see those artworks? How and where?

thank you so much sulz and life!

i was just thinking whether i should upload the samples so that my readers can do the choosing for me! i mean, it’s not like a particular image was chosen. and i am left to my own devices and single out the best one. that sort of gives me the jitters!

sulz,
i am definitely counting on you to vote. i read about how cleverly you marked the nipple thing in a post in dev’s blog! you do have an eye, sis! the kind of eye tha i like!

and all the others,
of course you too are equally welcome!

and life,
here’s the url of the japanese gallery that’s gonna feature my work.

and grrrr, ne of bd wouldn’t have me! and my curse is so strong that it resulted in the official version not being listed in google :D if you are really really interested, try the search term “national art exhibition bangladesh” to see reviews etc.
