Description: | Five free-standing, steel-framed grid structures are arranged in a semi-circle, bolted into a semi-circular concrete base. All are painted white and are graded in size, the smallest at the outer points of the semi-circle, rising to the largest, a twin-framed grid at the centre of the arc. Behind this twin-framed grid, the top of which is inclined forwards at an angle of about 45 degrees, stands a large steel disc, painted blood red and clearly visible through the bars of the grid structure. On our first visit, actually on the day of the unveiling, the monument was still behind metal fencing. On subsequent visits wreaths and flowers had been placed on the memorial. On our last visit, 22 April 1999, the flowers had been removed but evidence was visible that a fire had been started at the centre of the monument. Additional Information: Honours the memory of five students killed in Dhaka in 1952 in their fight for recognition of Bengali as a state language. | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Designer: Free Forms Arts Trust Metal Worker: Arts Fabrications | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6963... | Go to resource |
