Photography exhibition on environment
British Council, in collaboration with Map Photo Agency, is organising a photo exhibition, titled ‘My World, My Future 2005’ from February 2 onwards. The exhibition, says a press release, is the successful presentation of the selected 48 brilliant images of the 32 upcoming photographers who participated in the photo competition on environment. The competition was organised last year as part of the joint initiative taken by the British Council, British High Commission and DFID on climate change.The purpose of the initiative was to increase awareness of global warming and highlight UK's stance on climate change in the context of UK's presidency in the European Commission. The photo competition was organised at the backdrop of the visual exhibition, 'North South East West”, which was displayed at the National Museum Gallery from December 18-31, 2005. The objective of the exhibition was to look into the changing environment through the eyes of young Bangladeshi photographers so as to increase awareness on the issue. Over 500 entries were submitted from 139 photographs around the country from where 48 images have been selected from the exhibition, including three prize winning photographs. The exhibition is open to all until February 28, 2006.
