Welcome to Spirit of Solidarity: Art for Aid, an exhibition with a mission—where each photograph tells a story of resilience, survival, and hope.
The devastating flash floods of 2024 have wreaked havoc on southeastern Bangladesh, with areas like Noakhali, Chattogram, Cumilla, and especially Feni, enduring unprecedented damage. In the aftermath, countless families lost not only their homes but also their dreams, leaving them vulnerable and exposed to the elements. Entire communities are struggling to survive under the open sky, robbed of the security they once knew.
In this time of unimaginable hardship, Ichchey Foundation has been a pillar of hope, working tirelessly to bring relief to those most in need. Since the first day of the floods, our volunteers have been on the ground in Feni, extending their hands in rescue missions, delivering dry food, medicines, and emergency items to the most remote corners. We have set up health camps, offering essential care to those who would otherwise go without. Yet, despite these efforts, the needs remain vast, and the road to recovery is long.
This exhibition is not just about capturing moments of destruction—it is about lighting the way forward. Every photograph displayed here is a reflection of resilience, capturing both the struggle and the spirit of the people. And today, with your support, we have the opportunity to transform these images into action.
Your contribution can make a real difference. With the funds raised from the sale of these photographs, we are aiming to rebuild homes in the beautiful village of Mirzanagar, Rangamatia, Baupathor, Zangalia in Feni. For families who lost everything, this means more than just a roof over their heads—it means regaining their dignity, their security, and their hope for the future. Imagine the impact: a shelter for a child to sleep safely, a home for a family to begin dreaming again, a village that once again stands strong in the face of adversity.
The devastation is real, but so is the hope. Each photograph you purchase will help restore not just homes, but also the lives and dreams of those who need it the most.
By supporting this exhibition, you are not only investing in art—you are investing in humanity. You are giving these families the power to rebuild, to recover, and to rise once again. Together, we can restore in Feni, house by house, dream by dream.
Thank you for being part of this journey, for believing in the strength of these communities, and for bringing light where there has been darkness.
Let us rebuild homes, and let us rebuild hope.
