Street artists have begun covering metro rail pillars with politically charged artwork across central Dhaka. The massive graffiti project stretches from Karwan Bazar all the way to Farmgate under government supervision. Local Government and Cooperatives Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain dreamed up the controversial art campaign. The same official also serves as adviser to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. He announced the street art initiative through his verified Facebook account.

Workers are painting scenes that tell the dark story of authoritarian rule in Bangladesh. The colorful murals depict how citizens were driven to violent rebellion against oppressive leadership. Dhaka North City Corporation crews handle the actual painting work on the concrete supports. The local government division coordinates the entire artistic operation based on the adviser's original concept. Metro commuters can watch the political artwork take shape during their daily travels.

City officials planned multiple commemorative activities throughout July to honor the popular uprising. The graffiti represents just one part of a month-long series of memorial events. Artists focus their brushwork on documenting the brutal regime that sparked mass protests. The public art project aims to preserve memories of the bloody struggle for freedom. Government workers continue adding new murals to additional metro pillars across the capital.
