Welcome to The Summer project curated by the Boi-Chitro students. This digital archive explores the deep, vibrant world of Bengali culture, heritage, traditions, and literature through a data-driven yet deeply human lens.
Bengali culture is a tapestry woven from centuries of poetry, socio-political revolutions, and artistic brilliance. This summer, our students bridged the gap between analytical exploration and cultural preservation.
The ask was simple: they were given a set of words—deeply rooted in Bangla and in the lives of Bengalis—and were told to weave those words into their own stories, portraying them in the most meaningful way. These are the ways they chose to express them.
