One of the many treats at the Kensington World's Fair will be the dancers from the Bangladesh Institute of Performing Arts.
The Bangladesh Institute of Performing Arts, more commonly known as BIPA, was launched in 1993 with a view to keeping alive the rich Bengali culture among Bangladeshis living in the U.S., and to acquainting and enriching the American mainstream with our wonderful heritage.
We have performed in many mainstream establishments, including Ellis Island, the United Nations, Union Square Park, the American Museum of Natural History, the Queens Museum of Art, New York City public libraries, parks, schools, and colleges; Governor’s and Mayor’s programs, Asian Heritage Festivals, and also in various states across the country.
The founding members of BIPA are still active teachers, and they have been working very hard for the past 17 years to ensure that all of their students learn what they need to know to pass on our culture to future generations. These students become part of the “uttoradhikar,” or “inheritance” of their culture.
Don't Miss the Kensington World's Fair!
