From the end of June to mid-July Germany is hosting the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, the world championship for women's national association football teams. Let’s get sporty, too! Explore with us the world of adventure sports which have witnessed an increased popularity even in Bangladesh in recent years.
The photo exhibition ‘Thrive in the Wild Women’s Tale’ by Bangladeshi adventurer Muntasir Mamun is a tale of Bangladeshi women in adventure sports. Tradition and culture tend to come in their way, but in the end they don’t hold these women back; in fact some of them are extraordinarily outspoken and out boundless for thrive.
Muntasir Mamun: “Adventure and sports teach you to face the challenges of life much better and with more grit. I believe that they are the best tools to help a person to overcome all kind of fears, internal as well as external, directly and indirectly”.
The photographs include walking in the city, touring on a bicycle, trekking in the hills, climbing the mighty Himalaya and many more. The whole exhibition will be curated by prominent Bangladeshi photographer Paul David Barikdar.
