July Uprising Remembered Through Lens and Films in Canada
OTTAWA — August 1, 2025: With images that speak where words fall short, Bangladesh High Commission in Canada opened “July Beyond Borders” on Friday — a stirring photo exhibition and documentary screening marking the First Anniversary of the 2024 July Uprising.
Held at the High Commission Auditorium in Ottawa, the launch event gathered members of the Bangladesh diaspora and other Canadian guests. The exhibition presents powerful visual testimony from a movement that began with students on the streets and grew into a nationwide cry for justice, dignity, non-discrimination and emancipation. What started as peaceful protests against a job quota system in mid-2024 became a sweeping uprising against state repression. Guests at the opening, watching photos and footage of candlelit vigils, marches, and moments of brutal crackdown, were visibly moved — many recalling the uprising as a turning point in Bangladesh’s political history.
Speaking at the launch, High Commissioner Nahida Sobhan noted, “This exhibition is not just a tribute to the past—it is a reminder of the resilience and discrimination-free spirit that defines the people of Bangladesh, especially its youth.”
“July Beyond Borders” honours the courage of a generation who stood their ground and ensures that their sacrifice is neither forgotten nor confined by geography. The exhibition remains open daily to the public through August 5.
