A group photography show titled ‘Colors of Bangladesh’ portraying diverse culture, religion and nature of Bangladesh is under way at Nalini Kanta Bhattasali auditorium of Bangladesh National Museum.

The three-day exhibition, which commenced on Friday, is featuring a total of 122 photographs by upcoming and seasoned photographers.

The show has been curated by photographer Prito Reza and organised by UNESCO’s Dhaka office.

The displayed photographs were selected from 1,700 submissions by a three-member jury consisting of Munira Murshid Munni, Prito Reza and Wawi Navarroza.

The photographs depict scenic beauty of Bengal, devotion, religion, childhood memories, diverse seasons, traditional culture, animals and others.

To mention a few works, Musaddek Hussen’s photograph titled ‘Farmer’ shows a farmer ploughing paddy field.

Emran Hossain’s photograph titled ‘Beautiful Kaptai’ shows a boatman rowing his boat in the middle of the Kaptai Lake.

Abdul Momin’s photograph shows a boy holding various flowers.

‘The exhibition will project positive image of Bangladesh abroad. It also provides a platform for upcoming photographers to display their works alongside their seniors. Besides displaying photographs, the event also features artist talk and discussion,’ Prito Reza told.
