The first photo solo exhibition of photojournalist Sony Ramani titled 'Endangered Nature and Environment' has begun at the National Art Gallery of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.

The 6-day exhibition features over 60 striking photographs alongside a thought-provoking video installation, offering a compelling visual narrative of Dhaka’s deepening environmental crisis.

With over a decade of experience documenting Bangladesh’s socio-environmental landscape, Ramani presents an urgent and unfiltered perspective on the capital’s alarming ecological decline.

“As a photojournalist documenting Bangladesh’s socio-environmental landscape for over a decade, I have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of pollution and environmental degradation in Dhaka,” Ramani said.

“My exhibition seeks to visually document these pressing issues and spark meaningful dialogue on sustainable urban development and environmental policies.”

Dhaka, one of the most unliveable cities in the world, is grappling with a range of environmental challenges including air pollution, water contamination, waste mismanagement, and rapid urban sprawl.

Ramani’s exhibition captures these issues through four central themes—air pollution caused by unregulated emissions, the pollution of rivers and lakes, the growing crisis of waste disposal, and the vanishing green spaces swallowed by the city’s expansion.

The exhibition invites journalists, artists, activists, policymakers, and the general public to engage with these powerful visuals and reflect on the future of Dhaka’s environmental wellbeing.

The exhibition will remain open to the public daily from 3 pm to 8 pm until April 24.
