In a corner of the basement at DrikPath Bhobon, a series of letters are displayed for everyone to read. Letter from an Unborn Child by Thotkata, reflects the anguish and pain of an unborn child, as the kid addresses these letters to the readers, shoppers, and authorities related to the Tazreen factory fire in 2012.
On November 24, 2012, more than 119 garment workers died when a fire broke out in Tazreen Fashions Ltd in Ashulia s Nischintapur. Mimi, a five- months pregnant worker, was among the unidentified victims of the tragedy. The letters portray Mimi s unborn child s anger and plea to the ones present in the world today.
