Shahbagh
HD/DV, Experimental Documentary, 5:18 Minutes, Dhaka / Berlin, 2013 / 2016
This video was first created during the International Artist’s Workshop in Dhaka/Bangladesh in 2013. At that time the first Shahbag Youth Protest started, an ongoing demonstration against fundamentalist Islamists responsible for the war crimes of 1971/72. This peaceful and productive mass protest could be seen day and night on the streets of Dhaka. Meanwhile, the first activists and bloggers were murdered on the streets by fundamentalist groups. Since then, attacks against intellectuals, scientists and artists have been on the rise again in Bangladesh, as they did not stop until July 2016.
