Sr. Staff Reporter, Kishoreganj :
Kishorganj’s walls have long served as a public forum, reflecting the town’s pulse through graffiti and slogans. As Bangladesh approaches a critical political transition, a student-led initiative is reimagining these urban canvases to promote social harmony and democratic values.
The “Colours for Reform” campaign, which kicked off in Gaital administration area on Saturday comprises over 25 artists and 100 volunteers. The campaign seeks to preserve meaningful graffiti painted during the protests while refreshing Kishoreganj walls with messages of hope and unity.
With an interim government newly formed and Bangladesh on the cusp of a critical political transition, Kishoreganj’s walls serve as a vital medium to raise awareness and promote the values of a just, secular, and inclusive society. Amidst recent reports of arson, looting, and attacks on minority groups, the graffiti on these walls can become a powerful tool to convey messages of diversity, tolerance, and the formation of a truly democratic, secular Bangladesh.
