For International Women's Day 2021, the European Union (EU) Delegation to Bangladesh organised 'Right to the City', a daylong mural painting event, on March 6. The wall outside the EU Delegation Office in the capital's Gulshan 2 was painted by eighteen young female artists in less than seven hours. The mural was curated, coordinated and led by noted artist Fareha Zeba. Renowned artist Kanak Chanpa Chakma was also a part of the initiative. EU Ambassador to Bangladesh, Rensje Teerink, will unveil the mural at 4:30 pm today. "Right to the City provides a platform for emerging female artists to exhibit their works. It is nice to see so many women collaborating. I am proud that the EU Delegation boldly supports the voices of women," she shared.
