| What people say about VBB...
I got a different perspective on the
Bangladesh history and cultural background. Also, yesterday’s films were very enchanting
to me, especially The Forgotten Army.

I thought the format was excellent and
the films were wonderful. The panel discussion was informative.

I am glad to see these kinds of films.
It helps our new generation understand the background. We will
like to see more like these. Thanks.

Very informative. Beautifully filmed.
Very good forum to bring Hindu’s, Muslim’s, and Christian’s together to
express opinions. Also, shed light (some) on underlying tensions
of conflicts.

Thank you for dedicating this time to
focus on woman’s issues
that are many times ignored. Thank you for putting the effort into
putting on this film festival.

I feel very grateful being a part of such
a splendid group of artists, and honestly, not just out of politeness,
let me exclaim: "I'
not worthy!” It was an exhilarating experience for me which
I wish to repeat over and over.

I really enjoyed working on the show.
Lise was amazing to work with, and everyone else was delightful
as well. I want to thank you and VBB (especially Shaista Parveen)
for inviting me to participate, and I look forward to working
with VBB in the future.

The exhibit that VBB asked me to create
impassioned me to an extent that I had not felt in years. It
drew me out of the funk I felt studying engineering and caused
me to switch my major to Visual Art.

It is a very special opportunity for us.

So glad we came. All the way home we discussed
ways we might make ourselves more useful…A stellar event. Truly, truly. How
--what can we do? To help VBB DO even more?
—Audience member,
Artists and Dissent, May 2004
Thank you for all the hard work the VBB
community put into bringing us there… I really appreciated the detail that went into
bringing us to Houston. Kudos to VBB! Y’all are a tight community.
Our residency with you was one of the best we’ve experienced

The DiverseWorks show was brilliant. I
notice that you were taping the show. Is a DVD copy available?
What is the cost? I would like a copy… I want to wish you peace and prosperity in all of
your future endeavors.

It was a very moving evening last night.
The performances were great and there has not been anything as
relevant or timely as this in a long time. What a crowd! Congratulations.
