‘Artivism for Peace’, a daylong exhibition that brought together the works of young artists from across Bangladesh, held at TSC, University of Dhaka, here on Saturday.

The exhibition followed a workshop with 30 young artists promoting a harmonious Bangladesh, with a mural as a key highlight that attracted significant attention, reports BSS.

A total of 35 art pieces, including submissions from workshop participants and external artists, were showcased.
These artworks embodied themes of peace, tolerance, and harmony, aiming to inspire positive change, a UNDP press release said today.

Visitors were moved by the powerful messages in the art and resonated with the descriptions, sparking discussions on fostering a more inclusive and tolerant Bangladesh while recalling the July-August Uprising.
The exhibition was organised by the Kashful Foundation, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under its Partnerships for a More Tolerant, Inclusive Bangladesh (PTIB) initiative, in collaboration with the Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) under the ICT Division.

PTIB, funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Dhaka, aims to foster a more inclusive and tolerant society in Bangladesh.
