This photo exhibition was created within a very short period. Dr. Minamide traveled from Japan to Bangladesh on August 17, 2024, just 12 days after Sheikh Hasina resigned. During her one-month stay, shewas riveted by the richness of the youth’s Deyal Likhon. With the kind advice of Professor Willem van-Schendel, with whom she communicated by email from Dhaka, she photographed approximately 1,200 murals painted in Dhaka and in Jamalpur. Through the process of captioning each of the Deyal Likhon, she could read how the youth perceived the movement immediately after the political change and what they were seeking. It was then that she decided to create this online exhibition.

Dr. Minamidewas assisted by a local young freelance photographer, Mr. Rashik Ahmed, whom she had met duringher research on youth born in the 1990s. While most of the photographs were taken by Dr. Minamide, it would have been difficult for her alone to understand the meaning of each mural without Rashik’s assistance. Another assistant, Ms. Falguni Rahman Kakoli, a friend of Mr. Ahmed, also helped tremendouslyin creating captions for each image. In addition, Md. Rafiqul Islam of OpenJanala, a Trusted IT Solution, kindly designed this website.  www.openjanalait.com
