Taslima Akhter (born 1974) is a Bangladeshi activist and photographer. She is a graduate of Dhaka University, as well as the photography school Pathshala. She is a member of several activist organizations. While documenting the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013, she took a photograph of a woman and a man who had died in each other's arms, which became emblematic of the incident. BiographyTaslima Akhter was born in Dhaka, in Bangladesh, in 1974.[1] Akhter is a graduate of Dhaka University, with Master's degrees in science and in public administration.[2] While at the university, she was a member of the Bangladesh Student's Federation.[2] She went on the study photojournalism at Pathshala,[2] a photography school in Dhaka, which was founded by Shahidul Alam.[5] She tries to bring attention to social and environmental issues through her photography, driven partly by her experience during the 2008 political emergency in Bangladesh.[2] Akhter was among those who documented the fire at Tasreen Garments factory in 2012.[2] Akhter has worked on projects in several cities in Bangladesh, as well as in Nandigram in India.[2] Her work led to her receiving the Magnum Foundation scholarship in 2010.[1] Her work has been exhibited in several countries.[1] Akhter is a member of the women's organization Biplobi Nari Sanghati and the leftist activist group Gana Sanghati Andolan.[3] She is also a coordinator of the Garments Sramik Sangathan (garment worker's union).[1][2] In addition, she teaches at Pathshala.[3] Akhter's politics have an influence on her photography.[3] Final Embrace{{Main article|Final Embrace}}Following the Rana Plaza collapse in April 2013, Akhter and other photographers from Pathshala tried to document the lives of people who had died there,[3] while also taking part in the rescue effort.[2] These stories were later published as a book, titled Chobbish April: Hazaar Praner Chitkar (24 April: outcries of a thousand souls).[3] The publication was related to Akhter's work with the garment workers' union.[2] During this process, Akhter photographed a man and woman who had died in the building collapse, locked in an embrace with each other.[4] Akhter was unable to identify the subjects of the photograph despite much effort.[5] [6] This photograph, known variously as the "Eternal Embrace",[4] the "Death of A Thousand Dreams",[7] and the "Final Embrace,"[8] received widespread critical attention and multiple awards, and became emblematic of the incident, in which 1100 people died.[4] The photograph also received widespread attention online, and led to petitions to clothing companies demanding higher minimum wages and improved safety standards.[4] Akhter described herself a being haunted by the photograph.[4][5]Awards
