Samdani Art Foundation

成立於2011年，為支持該國當代藝術家和建築師的作品。它的計畫是透過製作補助、駐村、教育計畫和展覽，支持並拓展藝術家和建築師的創作視野。為此，SAF藉由官方夥伴關係與孟加拉政府合作。該基金會最大的活動是一年兩度的DAS，成立於2012年，持續從事與南亞有關的藝術和建築的非商業性研究和展示平台。最近發起新的DAS研究員計劃，以支持孟加拉的藝術發展與研究。

The Samdani Art Foundation (SAF) is a private arts trust based in Dhaka, Bangladesh founded in 2011 to support the work of the country’s contemporary artists and architects. Its programmes support Bangladeshi artists and architects in broadening their creative horizons through production grants, residencies, education programs, and exhibitions. To achieve this, SAF collaborates with the Bangladeshi government through official partnerships. SAF’s motivations are articulated through a variety of initiatives, the largest being the bi-annual Dhaka Art Summit (DAS), which it founded in 2012 and continues to produce a non-commercial research and exhibition platform for art and architecture related to South Asia, DAS rejects the traditional biennale format to create a more generative space for art and exchange that re-examines how we think about these art forms in a regional and wider context. SAF has recently launched the new DAS Research Fellows programme to formalise this effort and to support and facilitate artistic research in Bangladesh throughout the year.
