Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) had started a special month-long exhibition titled Sheikh Hasina - Bangladesh er Shopnosharothi.
The exhibition features photographs, paintings and installations on the Prime Minister’s life. The largest of these art pieces is a mural of the Pime Minister which is no less that forty feet tall.
Other than the mural the display comprised of various photographs from Sheikh Hasina’s childhood up to current times, arranged under different categories. Amongst the many eye-catching installations was a photo gallery, made magnificently out of clocks with photos of the Prime Minister in them. Another attraction was a maze with doors that contained portraits of Sheikh Hasina.
The month-long programme was inaugurated at Jatiyo Chitroshala Bhaban by the speaker of the Parliament, Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury.
The exhibition also displayed different phases of the Prime Minister’s life through a projector. Numerous books, written by various people, were also showcased. Paintings on August 21 were also on display. All the paintings were done in acrylic. Titash Chakma’s Shongrami Jibon, which portrays the Liberation War of 1971, and Shonali Shomoy by Shibli Hawlader (Sheikh Hasina with Indira Gandhi), were among the artworks that awed much of the audience.
The pictures from the exhibition will later be displayed at different district levels. Joyeeta publications assisted in the collection and compilation of the photographs.
