A 9-day photo exhibition titled "Ten Years After Rana Plaza" is underway at Drik Gallery in the capital.

The exhibition began on July 21 showcasing the photos of those who survived the collapse of Rana Plaza building and their families.

Ismail Ferdous, a photojournalist and filmmaker, organised the show to commemorate tragic incident.

The exhibition is mainly supported by the 21st Century International Women‍‍`s Garment Workers Union Heritage Fund and Bangladesh Centre for Workers‍‍` Solidarity.

Through pictures, videos, narratives, and posters, the exhibition seeks to make sure that the memories of the Rana Plaza disaster remain alive in people’s mind and protect Bangladeshi garment workers‍‍` labour rights.

Ismail captured the untold stories of the survivors and families of the victims in his picture titled "After Rana Plaza" and the documentary film "The Cost of Fashion".

The exhibition will remain open from 3pm to 8 pm until July 29.
