Bhor Hobe - A New Dawn

In 2017, the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh was witness to the rise of an anonymous graffiti artist’s work who everyone was calling the Banksy of Bangladesh. All his works portrayed a depressed man wearing tatters and carrying a cage imprisoning a red or sometimes a yellow sun. The writings on the wall symbolize depression, discrimination and hopelessness. “সুবোধ তুই পালিয়ে যা, এখন সময় পক্ষে না” is one such Bengali writing on one of his graffiti artworks which in English means, “Subodh run away, time is not on your side.” What is that anonymous graffiti artist trying to say to the world? Bhor Hobe answers that very question with an essence of positivity.
