A year removed, the rapper has now voiced his frustration in an exclusive interview with The Daily Star, about how hip-hop artistes are being treated in shows organised in the aftermath of the July movement.
Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has said that efforts are underway to widely disseminate the tragic and powerful story of the July 2024 mass uprising to the public through collective and narrative-driven projects.
I do believe much progress has been made, though it may be tempting to see the downside.
Bangladeshis under Hasina’s regime suffered on two levels: physical and epistemic/cognitive/perceptual.
Between July 15 and August 5 last year, parents across the country held their breaths waiting, worrying, and counting the hours until their children returned home from the protests. Some had their parents' blessing. Others went without it.
Through this movement, the people of Bangladesh expressed their protest using a language shaped by long-standing discontent.
To commemorate the historic July Uprising, the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, in collaboration with the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, has organised a month-long series of programmes aimed at reviving the spirit of the movement. As part of the initiative, a special event was held yesterday (July 14) at the Central Shaheed Minar, featuring a cultural programme and a musical drone show.
The closure will be in effect for one day only to facilitate July uprising revival events on campus
One year after the July Movement peaked, the Drissho Madhyam Shilpi Shomaj—a collective of theater, television, and movie artistes, filmmakers, cinematographers, and cultural activists—reconvened. Last year, they had staged a protest at Farmgate, raising their voices against the then-fascist government and supporting the students' nine-point demands.
