Produced during the People’s Uprising in Bangladesh, July 2024, this image by Debashish Chakrabarty captures the raw intensity of a nation in flux. Created amid mass mobilizations and civil resistance, the work is not just a visual record but also a symbolic echo of collective struggle and hope. Chakrabarty channels the urgency of the moment through his practice, weaving together the personal and the political. The image reflects both the fragility and resilience of ordinary citizens standing against systemic inequities, transforming protest into art, and art into testimony. In doing so, it becomes part of a larger cultural archive of resistance—one where creativity documents dissent and reimagines futures beyond crisis.
