Showcasing an ardent tribute to the healthcare community for their care and support in keeping everyone safe during the ongoing pandemic, the art exhibition is being held at ten different locations inside Evercare Hospital Dhaka, with boards filled with thought-provoking art pieces.
“Doctors, nurses, and people working in the healthcare sector are particularly vulnerable to the novel coronavirus. Yet every day, frontline workers in hospitals, health centers, care facilities, etc., make sure to keep the systems running to save lives and reduce the sufferings of people. In recognition of their bravery and compassion, ISD is taking a moment to acknowledge the healthcare workers who continue to be at the forefront of the global crisis by arranging this moving art exhibit,” according to the organizers.
Bridget Mutasa, Visual Art Teacher, and Personal Project Coordinator at ISD said, “Covid-19 has drastically changed our lives over the course of more than two years. While some people had the opportunity to remain safe indoors, the healthcare community kept providing their services without a break. As a token of gratitude towards these front fighters for their endless support in keeping us safe, we have come together to pay a tribute through a traveling art exhibition.”
“Our students have created a series of reflective and outward-looking artwork in the spirit of solidarity, courage, and kindness. We hope that this initiative will instill smiles and courage among everyone during this difficult time,” he added.
Students from grades three to ten, teachers, and staff from ISD have come together to create inspiring artwork that each depicts different narratives of empathy, humanity, and valor. ISD will be taking this exhibition in various places soon for a broader range of people to view the art pieces.
Dr Arif Mahmud, Deputy Director of Medical Services, Evercare Hospital Dhaka said, “I am very delighted to see this wonderful painting exhibition of ISD school at our premises. Our children had been mostly affected by this COVID pandemic. During this tough time, the students of ISD have demonstrated their great dedication to appreciate the efforts of healthcare workers by their paintings. I appreciate their great initiative and pray for their success.”
A heartfelt tribute to the healthcare heroes, the exhibition will continue until February 22.
