Shoparjito Shadhinota, Independence sculpture at University of Dhaka campus, Bangladesh.
Shoparjito Shadhinota is a sculpture located on the University of Dhaka campus near TSC street, featuring detailed sculptural elements that express the concept of freedom through art. The work displays intricate forms and composition that communicate ideas about liberation and human dignity.
The sculpture was created in 1990 by artist Shamim Shikdar as a significant work on the university campus. Following its installation, the work faced threats and opposition from those who disagreed with its message.
The sculpture serves as a gathering point where students discuss themes of freedom and national identity in their daily routines. People use this space to reflect on social values and share perspectives on what independence means to them.
The sculpture sits within the university campus and is accessible through the main entrance throughout daylight hours. Its location near TSC street makes it easy to find and reach while exploring the campus.
The sculpture resulted from a collaboration between three artists: Shamim Shikdar, Himangshu Ray, and Anwar Chowdhury, each bringing their own artistic vision. This partnership of multiple creators made the final work richer and more layered than any single artist could have produced alone.
