Emerged from Unknown

HANS, a students' association, recently organised an exhibition featuring artworks by autistic youngsters, in association with Surf Excel. Through this exhibition, HANS intended to generate awareness in autism among the masses. The exhibition, titled 'Emerged from Unknown II', was held at the Drik Gallery in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, according to a press release.
HANS, a non-profit organisation, has been working to create awareness in autism since 2005. This is the second time they have held this painting exhibition under the title 'Emerged from Unknown'.
Professor Abul Barq Alvi, Faculty of Fine Arts, Dhaka University, inaugurated the exhibition. Professor Alvi highly appreciated the effort, suggested taking this event to a greater dimension, and assured help whenever needed.
Presence of people at the exhibition was noticeable. Renowned music composer and singer Naquib Khan was present at the opening of the exhibition. Several schools for children with special needs attended the inauguration. Parents of the young artists were moved to see the encouragement their children were receiving. They hoped that their children would no longer be alienated in the society.
Chairman of HANS, Meer Sohrabul Hossain, has long been backing the students with his immense support and enthusiasm.

A touching moment: Pashla, an autistic youngster, held Professor Abul Barq Alvi's hand and showed him her paintings. She was visibly excited.
