Drik Gallery today wrapped up an exhibition on the emergence and evolution of child care facilities in Bangladesh through the photography of Md Rakibul Hasan. In collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Bangladesh Institute of Labour Studies (BILS), the exhibition “Keeping Childcare in Picture” intends to inform the masses and create awareness about the necessity and nature of child care facilities in our country.
A special photographic exhibition titled "Keeping Childcare in the Picture- A Photographic Exhibition on Childcare Practices in Bangladesh", featuring the work of award-winning photographer Mohammad Rakibul Hasan, will be held at Drik Gallery in Dhaka from May 18 to 20, open daily from 4pm to 8pm.
The exhibition grants viewers a glimpse into various social, political, and environmental issues, each photo offering a distinctive perspective. From capturing the journey of migrants to the devastating impacts of climate change, these images transcend mere events, evoking empathy through personal narratives.
Neatly curated by veteran ASM Rezaur Rahman, even without a single line of caption on the gallery walls, one could effortlessly relate to the silent yet atmospheric reverberation of the photographs. These images adorning the gallery's walls capture snippets of life in Bangladesh, from recaps of resilience to the messes we've created, depicting lives that go on but also leave questions.

Commencing yesterday at 5 pm, cartoonists and young artists from Dhaka gathered at Drik Gallery with cartoons and installation art, protesting the Israeli occupation and expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people.
