Join BIPA and Diaspora USA for Abritti Utsab 2026—“Onubhobe Onuronon: Resonance of the Heart”—a free day of Bengali poetry and recitation for audiences of all ages. No ticket or registration required.

Join Dr. Pratap at Queens Public Library – East Flushing for an informative workshop exploring 10 practical keys to healthy aging, independence and a better quality of life after 60.

Step into the liminal world of No Man’s Land, a gripping stage adaptation of Mojaffar Hossain’s short story, where borders—political and personal—blur under the weight of memory, longing, and survival. The story of a Crippled woman trapped between borders. Bureaucracy's apathy seals her fate. A thought-provoking play on inhumanity & red tape. Produced by Epic Actors’ Workshop with support from Dhaka Drama, the production’s stark, cinematic lighting and haunting score frame a lone figure at the edge of a cliff—inviting us to confront displacement, resilience, and hope. If you love powerful storytelling that sparks conversation long after the curtain falls, this is the night to circle. 

Members of the Bengali Diaspora participate in the festival adorned in traditional colorful attire, engaging in day-long cultural and social activities that are deeply rooted in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. The festival embraces this diverse community with love and care, fostering mutual understanding of each other’s heritage.
