The second solo photography exhibition titled ‘France, Natural and Eternal: A Photographer’s Journey’ by Shibly Shiraj is set to begin at Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) in the capital’s Dhanmondi area. The inaugural ceremony of the exhibition will be held at 5:30pm on Friday.
Ramendu Majumder, Honorary President, International Theatre Institute (IIT) will attend the opening ceremony as the chief guest.
In March 2019, Shibly Shiraj took a three-week journey in France. He rented a car and drove on the highways and the country roads. Travelling around France, from the north coast to the south and from the sea to the mountains, he took pictures of vast natures capes, and of tiny stones in a running stream — the village home of Édouard Manet enchanted Shiraj and he tried looking at it from the perspective of the nature that surrounds it. Shiraj believes that the nature must remain at the core of human existence. The exhibition resolutely follows this pathos.
The exhibition will remain open to all till August 8 at La Galerie of AFD and can be visited according to the following schedule: Monday to Thursday from 3pm to 9pm, Friday and Saturday (9am to12 noon and 5pm to 8pm). Closed on Sunday.
