IF YOU KNOW OR HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS PROJECT FEEL FREE TO GETTING TOUCH !
The student movement in Bangladesh during July 2024 made headlines around the world when it forced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign from power on August 5. Immediately after their movement’s “victory,” the youth painted public murals called Deyal Likhon in the capital city of Dhaka. This photo exhibition of Deyal Likhon is a record of the temporal power of young citizens to reform their nation.
