Abstract: In the home atmosphere, Bangladeshi native artists embrace the world art extravaganza by the Asian Art Biennale, which started in 1981. From the very beginning, Japan has been one of the committed and regular participants in the biennale. Generally, contemporary Bangladeshi art practitioners pay attention to the Asian Biennale for its contribution, especially in the early two decades. In this article, I have examined the interaction between Bangladeshi and Japanese art translated into the form of a biennale. Bangladeshi contemporary art features new trends that started in the 1980s and 1990s. In those two decades, new ideas were introduced that differed from previous art practices. Young artists of those two decades in Bangladesh, sparking themselves with experiments, later received national or international recognition. I explored the temperament of art practices of those decades in the context of the Japanese art exhibited at the Asian Biennale. This article aims to contribute to rethinking global cultural politics within the creative sphere of Asia, particularly South Asia. This research will encourage a reassessment of the implementation strategies of the Asian Biennale and partially revitalize global partnerships in a broader context, contributing to sustainable development (SDG 17).
