A special exhibition, “Flotilla: Bangladesh Sails for Gaza,” will open at Drikpath Bhaban in Panthapath, Dhaka, on Friday, August 14, at 6pm. Organised by the international photography organisation Drik Picture Library, it focuses on the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s journey toward Gaza in protest against Israel’s blockade of Palestinians in the besieged territory.

The exhibition will use photographs, video footage and archival materials to document the journey of British-Bangladeshis Zubair Islam Khan and Mohammad Ali, also known as Liaqat, as well as prominent Bangladeshi photographer Shahidul Alam. It presents details of their participation in the Gaza-bound mission and the experiences described as part of that journey.

According to the exhibition account, Israeli occupation forces illegally intercepted their vessel in international waters during the mission and unlawfully detained them at Israel’s Ketziot prison. Images and materials from that period of confinement and struggle will be displayed. The exhibition is scheduled to run from August 14 to August 29, 2026, and will be open to the public daily from 3pm to 8pm.
