context_page_description: CRACK International Art Camp is a multi-disciplinary art camp arranged every year over several days in Smaran Matshya Beej Khamar, a fish seed farm in Rahimpur, Kushtia, Bangladesh. The purpose of the outdoor art camp is promoting inter-disciplinary art collaborations. It was launched in 2007 by artist and researcher Shawon Akand, along with artist Delowar Hossain as Crack International Art Camp.
  The art camp tries to blur the lines between creative disciplines and therefore engages people from various disciplines, including but not limited to theatre activists, photographers, film makers, musicians, psychologists, singers, poets, writers, journalists, actors, anthropologists, folklorists, historians, and art critics.
  In 2009, Centre for Research on Art and Culture, a research based organization of Bangladesh, took over the total responsibility of this Art Camp renaming it as CRAC International Art Camp. In 2012, CRACK Bangladesh, a not for profit organization, took over the all responsibility of the art camp. In 2014, CRACK Bangladesh became CRACK Trust.
