Throughout last July, Drissho Madhyam Shilpi Shomaj stood as a powerful voice of resistance – uniting artists, cultural activists, and public figures against the state-led oppression faced by protesting students. A year later, they came together to invoke the spirit of that movement with a daylong event held at the Bangladesh National Museum, bringing together survivors, families of martyrs, and cultural members together under one room.
From stage to street, artistes and activists led a cultural revolt against brutality and censorship
One year after the July Movement peaked, the Drissho Madhyam Shilpi Shomaj—a collective of theater, television, and movie artistes, filmmakers, cinematographers, and cultural activists—reconvened. Last year, they had staged a protest at Farmgate, raising their voices against the then-fascist government and supporting the students' nine-point demands.
