2020 কলকাতার বিশিষ্ট শিল্পীগোষ্ঠী "SMS এ গ্রুপ অফ আর্টিস্টস" দ্বারা আয়োজিত ভার্চু়াল টক শো "আড্ডা উইথ ছবি ও কফি" (দ্বিতীয় পর্ব) তে আপনাদের সাদর আমন্ত্রণ। ২০০৯ সালে প্রতিষ্ঠিত "এসএমএস" গ্রুপ বিগত ১১ বছর ধরে বিভিন্ন জাতীয় ও আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে আর্ট শো, ওয়র্কশপ, ক্যাম্প করে চলেছে।
২০১৯ থেকে "SMS" GROUP এক অভিনব শিল্প কর্মশালা "আড্ডা উইথ ছবি ও কফি" শুরু করেছে, যেখানে আড্ডা, ছবি ও কফির সাথে নানা শিল্পভিত্তিক প্রসঙ্গ নিয়ে আলোচনা হয়েছে। আজ COVID ১৯ র বিশ্বজোড়া মহামারীতে আমরা আর চুপ করে বসে থাকতে পারলাম না, সারা বিশ্বের মতন আমাদের শিল্পী জগৎ ঘোর সংকটের মধ্যে দাঁড়িয়ে আছে। তাই আমরা সামাজিক বিধিনিষেধের মধ্যে থেকেই "আড্ডা উইথ ছবি ও কফি" ভার্টুয়াল টকশো ২য় অধ্যায় পরিবেশন করছি।
"আড্ডা উইথ ছবি ও কফি" র দ্বিতীয় পর্ব "ARTISTS IN LOCK DOWN" সমকালের সংকট এ শিল্পী ও শিল্পের বিপন্নতা"। আর আমরা চাই আমাদের আলোচনা ও বক্তব্য অসংখ মানুষের কাছে পৌঁছে যাক।
