As the single spectator at Drik gallery, by virtue of arriving Half-hour prior to the gates were originate to the public, I took two rounds of the picture exhibition honouring our students.
It felt less like a identical earlier exhibition and extra like a stroll by a shared picture diary. The gallery showcased the timeline from 16 July and ran till ’36 July’, capturing the budge of what our students persevered and overcame in their pursuit of freedom.
The photos displayed at Drik’s ‘Buk Petechi Guli Kor’ exhibition weren’t uncommon to the electorate of our country as we saw, posted, and shared them limitless times. It aimed to refresh our recollections of what the country witnessed throughout these 20 days.
“The exhibition became as soon as segmented into three sections— Protibad (Hiss), Protirodh (Face up to), and Bijoy (Victory) —of the revolution our students spearheaded. We major to wait on picture proof of their budge,” said ASM Rezaur Rahman, the Customary Supervisor of Drik.
The resistance portion of the exhibition became as soon as incredibly refined to search. Some of the photos, though no longer widely circulated on-line, deserve to be confirmed to a broader viewers because of the the sheer unlit actuality they entailed.
“The struggles of the previous were hard for all of us, and we must always endure in thoughts the sacrifices that brought us to the build we’re now,” emphasised Rezaur.
One wall featured a broad picture of students marching triumphantly, and company generally observed their chums and classmates amongst the team.
Someday of these days, citizen journalism peaked and helped spread the truth that mass media deliberately stored at nighttime.
The photos were displayed chronologically and although there were many submissions, no longer all photos made it to the walls of Drik. This became as soon as because of the the dearth of time the curators had on their fingers. The picture exhibition aimed to unusual folks the aftermath of a historical tournament.
“We are within the intervening time engaged on a book for the final photos that were submitted. The photos offered at this exhibition are largely from Dhaka. Alternatively, within the book, we design to showcase photos from all over Bangladesh. Work is already in development and we’re striving to launch it by this 365 days. We imagine that the finest skill to defend historical previous is by photos,” he additional shared.
Of the 115 impactful photos, some are of high quality whereas others were taken on telephones or are screenshots from YouTube videos. But, the exhibition’s message is undeterred: their sacrifice must never be forgotten.
The photos provide varied perspectives of the resistance, showcasing both the victims and their struggles. These photos, from police violence to scenes of contented crowds after the fall of the autocratic regime, memoir the harsh but defining moments of the revolution. Every photo has a clear caption in Bangla and English for both locals and foreigners to love.
