Rickshaw Art - Dhaka

Dhaka is famous as a city of Rickshaws with unique and popular arts. The paintings and decorations on the three-wheeled cycle cannot be assigned to any static "genre". They are popular as opposed to "fine" arts. They appropriate multiple forms which include folklore, classical art elements, and commercial forms. They also reflect the economic globalization process, which is occurring all over the world today, and display a fascination for movie stars and narratives.
