CRACK International Art Camp (CIAC) 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.[1] The purpose of the outdoor art camp is promoting inter-disciplinary art collaborations. It was launched in 2007 by artist and researcher Shawon Akand,[2] along with artist Delowar Hossain as Crack International Art Camp.[1]
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.[2]
In 2009, Centre for Research on Art and Culture (CRAC), a research based organization of Bangladesh, took over the total responsibility of this Art Camp renaming it as CRAC International Art Camp.[3] In 2012, CRACK Bangladesh, a not for profit organization, took over the all responsibility of the art camp.[3] In 2014, CRACK Bangladesh became CRACK Trust.[4]

Irreligion in Bangladesh is rare and uncommon publicly. A Gallup survey from 2014 - 2015 found that approximately less than 1% of Bangladeshis identified as convinced atheists. Bangladesh has 166.3 million people as of 2021 estimation. But this is a grey area; a "convinced atheist" and "not believing god or religion" is not the same thing. There are more ideologies/views/doctrines that are against "Organized Religions" or related to "non-religion". There are agnostics, deists, apatheists etc. which are also against "religion". These figures are unweighted for sampling in Gallup survey. Their sampling amount was only 1000 in a Muslim dominated country of more than 140 million.
