The Rohingya Experience

Jersey Overseas Aid
  • 2 July 5.45pm - 7.15pm
1 hr 30 mins
Jersey Arts Centre

Jersey Overseas Aid is proud to support UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and the Rohingya refugees living in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, in one of the largest refugee camps in the world. To shine a light on the trials, triumphs, and resilience of the Rohingya community, JOA will be launching a unique outdoor photo exhibition in Jersey this summer in collaboration with Rohingyatographer, a collective of Rohingya photographers. The exhibition titled The Rohingya Experience will showcase award-winning photographs by talented Rohingya refugees in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. Join us on 2 July for the European premiere of this exhibition and hear from UNHCR and JOA about the importance and impact of Jersey’s humanitarian aid and (via video) from the photographers about how the transformative power of photography can give a voice to the stateless, provide a platform for visual storytelling and offer a glimpse into life in the camps through the eyes of Rohingya youth.
