"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the uncomfortable," writes the pseudonymous street artist Bansky-sentiment that encapsulates the spirit of graffiti's defiance. On July 17, 2024, Abu Sayeed, an unarmed organizer of the students' movement for quota reform at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, was shot and killed by police as he stood with his arms stretched out, leaving his mother, Monowara Begum, shell-shocked and crying, "My son only wanted a job; if you don't want to give him a job, then don't - but why did you kill him?"
Since the 1960's, graffiti in Bangladesh has served as a powerful voice for resistance. In 1966, student activists spray-painted slogans like "Down with Ayub Khan" on walls, using graffiti as a covert means of protest against a repressive regime. When military forces approached, they shouted "chika! chika!" a word meaning mole or muskrat pretending they were killing rodent to disguise their actions. This guerrilla tactic marked the beginning of graffiti as a tool of dissent in Bangladesh, and it played a crucial role in the liberation war in 1971.
Noor Hossain, with the words "Down with Autocracy" স্বৈরাচার নীপাত যাক; however, the Bangla spelling for নীপাত is নিপাত the misspelling underscoring raw spontaneity of such expressions boldly painted in bright white on his bare chest, was photographed by Dinu Alam on November 10, 1987, during a pro-democracy protest in Dhaka. Shortly after, he was shot and killed by Bangladesh Police.
