FENI, Aug 17: Once damped walls of road islands and of houses in the district are now being made into eye-catching graffiti work being done in a festive manner by enthusiastic students-cum-fine artists. 

Tiny and curious artists are making their creative artworks in deep emotion of patriotism and nationhood; many of them are trying to focus on the heroic death of Abu Syed, Mugdha and Feni's boy Shraban. 

Earlier these walls were in heaps of slang artworks including eye-irritating  banners and festoons of political parties and doctors. 

Now, walls of the town are getting re-painted every day; beautiful graffiti works are crafted and painted; and these mostly speak for a 'Discrimination-free beautiful Bangladesh'. 

According to field sources, they are rubbing dirty walls, washing and painting in heroic, emotional and rebel artworks: outlook of the city is changing rapidly. 

Like elsewhere in Dhaka and other cities and towns in the country, students of anti-discrimination movement started to clean the Feni town which was turned with filthy walls during the quota reform movement, and now they are making it eye-shooting with meaningful artworks.

They also pioneered in restoring traffic services in the district while carrying out cleaning works.

Brave slogans and revolutionary speeches are marking up their graffiti. Student artists are passing their busy time in drawing and painting walls in the city. 


Several visits found walls being washed and brought under artworks in key point areas of the city including College Road, Jail Road, Shahid Shahidullah Kysar Road, Mizan Road, Government College premises, Rajajeer Dighir Parh, Doctorpara, Masterpara, Mahipal, Academy, and all paras and mahallas.
 
Arts and calligraphy are also beautifying walls in other towns of Chhagalnaiya, Fulgazi, Porshuram, Sonagazi and Dagonbhuiyan upazilas. 

'Let protest', 'Who will reform?', 'We won't surrender', 'Youthfulness-24', 'We are the alternative', 'Grow on work, not by sucking', "Independence won, now reform to make', 'If love country, keep it safe', 'Fear-wall broken', 'Now tide of student-mass people', "Blooded July-2024', "Country belongs to us all', and other sense-raising graffiti works now provide spirit of a new generation in the district.

Artist Mahabuba Tabassum Ema said, "We didn't see 52 and 71; but through wall graffiti, we came to know about chivalry; we witnessed and suffered over two months of student movement; we saw fall of autocrat."

"Now we are translating these experiences into graffiti; and along with this, dirty and damped walls are in wear of good look," she added.

While carrying out his wall-graffiti, Coordinator Walid Bin Abdullah of volunteering organisation Help For Today said, "Many call our generation addict to mobile; but this present generation has made the anti-discrimination movement successful; now their contributions are painted on walls."

While taking with this correspondent of The Daily Observer, tiny artists from different educational Institutions said, "Abu Syed shows this generation how fight can go with stretched-out chest; he was shot down by police; I am trying to depict that scene in my arts; so that all can know about Abu Sayed."

"If want, what teenagers can do, it is now a big example of Bangladesh," they added.

Also some works of calligraphy are made in Arabic on walls behind madrasas, speaking patriotism and nationhood.

A mother Asmot Ara Shiri of a student of Feni Government College said, "Some days back students were seen working in traffic management and doing cleaning works in the town; now they have started wall-painting."

The country will be truly beautiful, if all come forward consciously, she added.

At present, more than 300 students and volunteers are carrying out graffiti works in Feni. It is costing them about Tk 4.5 lakh.

Firstly, they raised money themselves and started the graffiti work. Later on, they were attended by locals with assistance.
