The Bengali letter ‘Pett Kata Shaw’ translates to the ‘Split-Bellied Shaw.’ Despite its actual pronunciation being ‘Murdhanya-Sha,’ this quirky nickname is more widely used. Much like this letter’s unusual moniker, Bangladesh is home to a treasure trove of chilling folklore that leaves listeners with goosebumps.
Being a cartoonist is Morshed Mishu’s preferred public identity, or as he describes himself, an “artivist”—someone who practices activism through art in a non-traditional manner. Mishu, who rose to prominence through his political cartoons and social activism, has journeyed to every corner of the country to aid his fellow countrymen.
The "Voices of Resistance 2024" exhibition, currently taking place at The KL City Art Gallery and featuring the active participation of talented Bangladeshi artists, offers a distinctive fusion of creativity that goes beyond geographical boundaries. This artistic endeavour, organised by the Birlikte Sanat Society in collaboration with the Turkish Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and Yunus Emre Institute (YEE), not only celebrates Turkish artistry but also serves as a platform for solidarity with Gaza.
While walking along the streets you may come across the Manobotar Deyal, translated as Wall of Humanity, where people can hang clothes or other essentials. Similarly, cartoonist Morshed Mishu has built a unique display of kindness — a wall adorned not with ordinary embellishments, but with toys. The wall was set up on 25 December at Ibrahimpur in Mirpur-14.
Cartoonist Morshed Mishu initiated awareness by organising a two-day cleaning event called “Khale Hobe” for the canal of Mohamadia Housing Limited, Mohammadpur (Road 1- 4).
Yesterday, Morshed Mishu announced on his Facebook that he and 4 Bangladeshi artists' artworks were exhibited in Cambridge, Boston, USA under the title “Electric Bangladesh; Fossil Free Future”
The "Mohanagar" feature was written by Ahsan Habib, while the cover and character caricature was drawn by Morshed Mishu.
