A 10-day exhibition on the life and works of noted cinematographer and broadcast media personality Mishuk Munier began in the capital yesterday. The exhibition, “Seeing Mishuk through Mishuk's eyes”, at Dhaka Art Centre in Dhanmondi will remain open from 3:00pm to 8:00pm, showcasing Munier's photography and cinematography. The exhibits include Munier's photographic documentation on SM Sultan's life, some random photography of Bengal subalternity and items he used such as glasses, books, camera, spoons and spatula. Prof Anisuzzaman inaugurated the exhibition at 5:00pm, while Prof Abdul Momin Chowdhury lit the “mangal pradeeps”. “I closely witnessed how a creative soul grew up gradually within Mishuk,” said Prof Anisuzzaman, commemorating Munier's childhood and notable works. Munier pioneered broadcast and photo journalism in Bangladesh and his charismatic presence in every sector delighted us all, he added. The exhibition begins three weeks prior to the first death anniversary of Ashfaque Munier Mishuk, popularly known as Mishuk Munier, a former chief executive officer of ATN News. Munier, a teacher at the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism in Dhaka University, died in a road accident on Dhaka-Aricha Highway in Ghior upazila of Manikganj on August 13, 2011. Filmmaker Tareque Masud and three others were also killed in the accident.
