SLC32-W2 // Steem Expedition 2.0 Everyday Routes. Corners with Art and Color
ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Dear friends, I hope you are all well. I am also Alhamdulillah, by Allah's countless mercy, doing very well. The 32th season contest is ongoing, and in this season, in the Second week, dear brother @oswaldocuarta has discussed a beautiful topic. I will sincerely thank him because he has given us such an opportunity, and we want to present this topic very beautifully, so let's go.
Dear friends, the place I am going to introduce to you is the traditional district and divisional city of Bangladesh, which is Barishal, and Barishal Sadar is right inside the municipality. The names are CMB Road and TTSC Lens Jame Masjid. Another one can be said to be the first sari on College Avenue Road. I will discuss the alleys of the roads where the drawings have been made.
One reason to paint pictures in this place is that through this road, called College Avenue, there are many colleges inside, and because of that, this place is called College Avenue Road. And if you go a little further, there is a mosque here, and when entering from the main road through this lane, you can see a spot like this on your left side along the wall.
If I were to analyze all the paintings done here, I would say that this is about the July 2024 people's uprising, which happened two years ago. That time under an authoritarian government, the people's uprising led to a bloody situation, affecting the youth and ordinary people, and the paintings have been done as a memory and a symbol of that time.

These pictures need to be discussed in more detail. All the people travel through this road, such as rickshaws, vans, etc. The child asks his father, "Look at the helicopter." At that time, the government fired teargas shells and bombs from above on the people who had agitated. And shot and killed people. In addition, women have been raped and those who have agitated have been disappeared, and many people have been killed, mostly by young people.

Anyway, this is the subject, this is the analysis. From the corner of this road, there are roads leading in all directions; this is a key place where the painting has been done. As a result, everyone will notice it, even though I took these pictures at night. Not all of them are very clear, but it can still be understood. There are soft, dim lights around at night, which will attract everyone's attention. I have provided a short video for you below. After that, I will answer your questions.
1_. ¿Qué es lo que más te llama la atención de este lugar o de esta obra de arte?
You asked a wonderful question. Every place has some core attraction, and the picture that attracted me teaches me that to live, I have to live very well. There is no use in being like a cat; one has to be like a lion, even for a short time, I must live with the courage of a brave person if I want to do something. In Bangladesh, during the July mass uprising, there was a person named Saeed.

He stood exactly like this, and I gave a picture below; he was shot in the chest and killed while standing like this. In the same way, many young men and women protested to force the authoritarian government to resign. This has attracted me the most; seeing this, I have learned a lesson, and the people have also learned a lesson.
2_.¿Cómo cambia este toque de arte el ánimo de tu rutina diaria?
Daily, alongside my work, seeing such paintings creates courage in me. Not only in my case, but in everyone in the population of Bangladesh, such a feeling awakens in every heart that increases courage. It helps me gain the strength to know that there is nothing we cannot achieve. If everyone is united, it is certainly possible to reform something. Just as we made the authoritarian government resign and helped them flee the country, in the same way, if we are united in all ways, we will be able to reform the organization.
3_. ¿Crees que el arte y el color son importantes para las personas que caminan por ahí todos los días?
I definitely think that for those who walk here, art and color are certainly appreciated and important. The more beautiful the art journey is, and the more illuminated it is externally, the more noticeable it will be when people walk by. I think color or art hasn't been much of a problem here, but if the lighting arrangements are better, it will be even better. This way, whether during the day or at night, it will catch people's attention as they walk by and serve many important functions.

4_. Si tú fueras el artista, ¿qué otro detalle o color le añadirías a ese lugar para hacerlo aún más especial para ti?
You have asked a great question. If I have the opportunity and if I am entrusted with this responsibility, I will focus on two things. First, I will try to keep the area around this place and the place itself clean because I have seen that many parts of the walls are dirty. I will definitely prioritize keeping this place clean and try to paint it. If we can make this art and painting more colorful, it can be seen more clearly and attractively by passersby and people walking by.
