Our Virtual Reality

Experience Climate Crisis and Upholding the Rights of Women and Girls in Bangladesh↗ through ARTCON's immersive 3D virtual tour. Presented at the Nalini Kanta Bhattasali Gallery, Bangladesh National Museum, from 12–16 November 2022, the exhibition was jointly organised by UNFPA Bangladesh and the Australian High Commission in Bangladesh as part of the regional Dignity & Disasters advocacy campaign. Through compelling documentary photography, the exhibition highlighted the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and girls in one of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries.

Explore the exhibition through an interactive 360° walkthrough and discover a powerful collection of photographs by Naymuzzaman Prince↗, documenting the lived experiences of women and girls facing cyclones, floods, river erosion, salinity intrusion, and climate-induced displacement across Bangladesh. The exhibition reveals not only the challenges to sexual and reproductive health, protection, and human rights during disasters, but also the resilience of affected communities and the humanitarian support provided through UNFPA and its partners. Each photograph offers an intimate narrative that transforms statistics into deeply personal stories of survival, dignity, and hope.

Created by ARTCON as a documentary archive, the virtual tour preserves the exhibition's curatorial narrative and gallery experience while extending public access beyond the physical venue. Accessible on desktop, mobile, and VR headsets, the experience enables visitors, researchers, students, policymakers, development professionals, and the wider public to engage with this important visual testimony and its urgent call for climate justice, gender equality, and the protection of the rights of women and girls. The exhibition also coincided with the global COP27 climate conference, reinforcing its message within an international dialogue on climate action.
