    Subkutan: Who makes our clothes?

    Subkutan: Who makes our clothes?
    Spring, summer, autumn and winter - in the past, fashion labels launched new collections only four times a year. In the last twenty years this changed radically: every month, stores offer new clothes. Fast fashion is the term used to describe this. Fast fashion allows us, the consumers, to get a new look or the next trendy garment at an affordable price. The fast fashion industry is built on cheap labour and cheap materials - often at the cost of human lives.

    This week is the tenth anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory disaster in Bangladesh, an event that shocked and reshaped the fashion world. Ursina Haselbacher, coordinator of the Bern section of Fashion Revolution, an international movement founded 10 years ago in response to the tragic Rana Plaza factory collapse. Together with Aviv Szabs, they talk about how what we wear affects those who make it, and what we can do to influence fast fashion politically and individually.

    The Liberation of Bangladesh: Game Over

    In the third and final episode of Wars & Warriors: The Liberation of Bangladesh, Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam narrates the story of how the Indo-Pak War of 1971 reached its endgame. This is the story of how it was 'Game Over' for General Niazi as the Indian Army, Navy and the Air Force decisively defeated the Pakistani armed forces in the Eastern Theatre and helped create the free nation of Bangladesh out of what was until then East Pakistan.

    The podcast takes us through the airborne operation at Tangail, the exploits of the INS Vikrant in the Bay of Bengal, the air strike by IAF MiG-21s and Hunters on the Governor’s House in Dacca, to the final surrender by General Niazi, who was surrounded by five brigades of the Indian Army. ‘Game Over’ is the final episode in the story of the creation of Bangladesh in December 1971.

    PYP E-Learning Best Practices with Rezuan Chowdury

    In this episode of IB Matters we talk to Rezuan Chowdhury. Rezuan discusses how he mixes teaching students while also conducting research aimed at improving teaching in the greater educational community.

    Rezuan is located in Dhaka, Bangladesh and is a Primary Years teacher in an IB school there. He is great example of a collaborative IB teacher who not only is dedicated to helping his students grow, but he goes out of his way to contribute to teacher growth as well.

He is particularly interested in improving access for students without reliable internet or the devices necessary to use it. He has carried this message to teachers around the world through webinars hosted in several countries.

    Pen is mightier than sword: How I became a writer

    Pen is mightier than sword: How I became a writer

    S.1 E.23 As a nationally published writer in the United States of America, I often think about how I started writing when I was a young boy growing up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Writing, I believe, is a very powerful medium of expression. In this episode, I talk about my journey to becoming a writer.

    EP07: "Our subalterns have not sold out; our youngsters have not sold out". Nkata with Shahidul Alam

    EP07: "Our subalterns have not sold out; our youngsters have not sold out". Nkata with Shahidul Alam

    Shahidul Alam (b.1955) is a Bangladeshi photojournalist, teacher and social activist. He has been a photographer for more than 40 years. His life and work can invariably be summarised as a service to society, culture and humanity.  In 2014, he was awarded the Shilpakala Padak by the President of Bangladesh. In 2018 he received the Humanitarian Award from Lucie Awards. In the same year, he was named one of the  Times Persons of The Year by Time Magazine. 

    Alam founded the Drik Picture Library in 1989, the Pathshala South Asian Media Institute in Dhaka in 1998, “which has trained hundreds of photographers”,  and the Chobi Mela International Photography Festival in 1999. These platforms have been steadfastly sustained throughout these years. As such, they have become, in Alam’s words, the units straddling the three prongs – education, media, and culture – through which they have been able to exact pressure on the political sphere, therefore, instigating tangible change in the Bangladeshi reality through photography. 

    In August 2018, Shahidul Alam was arrested and detained shortly after giving an interview on Al Jazeera during which he criticised the government's violent response to the 2018 Bangladesh road safety protests. There was a global call for his release led by many International humanitarian organisations, news media and notable personalities. 

    In the 7th Episode of Nkata Podcast: Art & Processes, Emeka Okereke visited Alam in his home in Dhanmondi, Dhaka in Bangladesh – same apartment from which he was arrested. They had an extensive conversation about his life and work starting from his childhood to his parents, family and dedication to social justice in Bangladesh. 

    He also touched on his special relationship with his partner – his best friend and his fiercest critic – Rahnuma Ahmed, who is a journalist in her own right. Shahidul owes much of his continued belief in his cause;  its strategic carefulness of self-care as a form of protest (as inferred by Audre Lourde) to Rahnuma. He made a point to note that the name “Rahnuma”  is Persian for “the one who shows you the way”.
