Goethe Pop Up Festival
Bhati-scape

Goethe Pop Up curator Arfun Ahmed believes personal lived experiences to be his source of inspiration. While his creative process is driven by political thought, his expressions remain close to poetry. Arfun’s Pop Up Bhati-scape is a radio programme, containing audio documentary, interview, and music from the Bhati region. Bhati region - where there is water for six months and dry season for the remaining six months.

The region spread over 40 upazilas of Sunamganj, Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Kishoreganj, Netrokona, and Brahmanbaria district. Bhati-scape tries to read and understand the complex history and culture of the region and its contribution in the philosophical movement of Bengal (বাংলার ভাব আন্দোলন). Field recordings of music and literature are included in Bhati-scape through social media and other platforms of বাবা বেতার Baba Betar Radio.
