Organised by Drik, a ten-day photography exhibition, titled "Snippets Behind Bars and Other Related Stories", is currently underway at the DrikPath Bhobon, Panthapath. The opening ceremony of the exhibition was held on March 10. Photojournalists Shafiqul Islam Kajal and Al Mamun Jibon, along with other participants, were present at the ceremony.
Journalists are storytellers, representing people from all walks of life. This exhibition provides a glimpse into the daily lives of journalists. Several journalists have been detained and imprisoned over the years. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, journalists have been working on the front lines, delivering news day and night, risking their lives. Several of them lost their jobs as well. The struggles, sacrifices and hard work behind their work go unrecognised, more often than not. "Snippets Behind Bars and Other Related Stories" presents the harsh realities of journalists' lives today, to the audience.
