The Media and Mass Communication (MMC) students of the American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) participated in a community development project at Jamdani Village, Bargaon, Sonargaon, under the guidance of Senior Faculty Mr. Niaz Majumder of MMC department on July 15, 2023.
The workshop was organized by the Summer 2023 BLC Field School Bangladesh Chapter and was titled: “Story of Jamdani People and Place, Bargaon”. The objective of the workshop is to document the cultural landscape and stories of Jamdani people and places. At the end of the day students have gained knowledge to document the environment and cultural landscapes of local communities, how to write local histories of people and places "from the ground," and gleaned materials through hands-on activities.
In the concluding session, Mr. Niaz Majumdar presented an interesting topic from his research paper; Maa & Mati – “Terracotta our culture! Our heritage”, in the context of art and architecture of Bangladesh. Thanks to architect Dilruba Ferdous Shubhra, (former faculty of AIUB, Department of Architecture), for her kind invitation to this wonderful Field work projects and a resourceful event.
