Speaking at the ceremony, Hossain described the July Movement as “not merely a political protest, but a universal moral uprising.” He paid tribute to those who lost their lives during the July–August 2024 movement and extended wishes for a swift recovery to the injured.
The exhibition showcases powerful photographs and graffiti capturing real scenes from the movement, designed to evoke deep emotion and raise awareness among visitors. “This is not just a cultural showcase,” Hossain said in an emotional address. “It carries a powerful message: we must keep the memory of the historic July Movement alive in our national consciousness.”
He further noted that the movement represented a collective stand for justice, with people from all walks of life contributing directly or indirectly. Hossain expressed hope that the exhibition would serve as a historical mirror for future generations, encouraging pride in the past and fostering a sense of responsibility. “The July Renaissance must remain a constant source of awakening,” he added.
The event was attended by Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials, trainee diplomats, distinguished guests, and journalists. The exhibition is open to the public throughout the month, offering a space to reflect on the significance of the July Movement.
