The White Paper, an organisation of a group of artists, celebrated its fifth founding anniversary with a daylong art camp titled Whisper of Green at Khilkhet in Dhaka on Friday.
Thirty artists participated in the art camp, which was organised to create awareness about the Balu River and its ecosystem as the river had gradually become unclean and narrow.
Led by founder of the White Paper, artist Sonya Binta Hasan, artists Biren Shome, Abdus Satter, Tanzil Hasnsin Moin Roneet, Md Abdul Guffar Babu and Palash Datta participated as guest artists in the art camp.
Artists Mesbah Ahmed Liton, Mukul Barman, Afroza Nazmin Lily, Sharmin Rahman and Arkadeep Das, among others, also attended the camp.
The artists drew the landscape of the riverside areas located at Patira, its people and environmental issues related to the area, which were changing due to rapid urbanisation and city tourism. 聽
