The exhibition features photographs, paintings and instillations on the Prime Minister’s life. 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 exhibition focuses on major turns in Sheikh Hasina’s life -- from the struggles and tragedies of her personal life, to her embracing politics, and fulfilling her father, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s dream. The exhibition has been arranged at the Jatiyo Chitroshala Bhaban’s gallery one and six, in BSA.
