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 "Mohanagar" feature was written by Ahsan Habib, while the cover and character caricature was drawn by Morshed Mishu.
The artist passed away while undergoing treatment at Ahsania Mission Cancer and General Hospital.
In recent times, developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have taken the world by storm. Deepfakes, DALL-E 2, ChatGPT, and all their various spin-offs have paved the way for various debates regarding the ethics, possibilities, and eventual future of AI
Recently, the 5-day 40-year-celebration of the satire magazine Unmad, came to a close, where three cartoonists were awarded. Morshed Mishu, who won the first prize, wanted to pursue a career in defence, but ended up being a cartoonist. He is an Assistant Editor at Unmad.
A fascinating part of the magazine Unmad is how the Bangla wit is represented through cartoons, sketches, images and not to mention the hilarious write ups and crazy poetry. Decades of the evolving humour, writers and cartoonists of all ages who have been involved with Unmad for years, along with cartoons and ideas, will be framed and waiting for enthusiasts and fans at the Drik gallery in Dhanmondi, from July 5-9.
