Dhaka, Aug. 2 -- Bangladesh High Commission in Canada has opened "July Beyond Borders" on Friday - a stirring photo exhibition and documentary screening marking the first anniversary of the 2024 July Uprising.

The exhibition remains open to the public through to 5 August.

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.
