Posters begin to cover up July Uprising images

Images of the 2024 July Uprising decorate many roads, poles, and walls in Dhaka. After a student-led movement toppled the Awami League, graffiti celebrating the mass uprising became a common sight across the capital. Several months into 2025, posters and advertisements have begun covering up the vibrant images. The graffiti on the pillars of the Mouchak-Moghbazar Flyover are particularly vulnerable to this erasure.

In the eight months since students painted vibrant graffiti to celebrate the July Uprising, many of the images have been covered up by posters and banners advertising coaching centres and shopping centres. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
