A week-long photo exhibition titled ‘Celebrating Colours of Bangladesh’ is underway in Milan, Italy. The exhibition showcases the tradition, culture, and multidimensional achievements of Bangladesh.

The Bangladeshi Ambassador to Italy, Md Shameem Ahsan, inaugurated the exhibition on January 18 at the auditorium of Bangladesh consulate in Milan.

”Photography is a medium that can convey the excellence of a country to the world,” said the ambassador at the event. Around 70 photographs taken by Mostafigur Rahman are on display at the exhibition.

The photographs showcase the achievements of Bangladesh in different sectors, including agriculture, economy, culture, education, health, women’s empowerment, and food security. The secular environment, tradition, culture, and abundant beauty of Bangladesh are vividly portrayed in the images.

Bangladesh Consulate General, Milan, organised the exhibition, which was initiated by the Bangladesh Travel Writers Association. “The exhibition will create an interest in Bangladesh among Italians and other foreigners,” said Peru Consul General Augusto Salamanca, chief of the diplomatic core in Milan.

The exhibition will continue until Jan 25.
