Exhibition Launch: A Chance to Breathe: Photographs by Rohingya Refugees in Cox’s Bazar Camps
February 18 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
With contributions by Matthew and Amy Smith, Fortify Rights, and Azimul Hasan, featured photographer and author in our latest exhibition.
The Wiener Holocaust Library’s new exhibition, A Chance to Breathe, showcases the award-winning photography of Omal Khair, Dil Kayas and Azimul Hasan, three survivors of the Rohingya genocide. Their works provide a rich and intimate look at Rohingya life in the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, offering a rare glimpse into the daily lives of Rohingya refugees and genocide survivors.
The exhibition has been curated in collaboration with Fortify Rights, a human rights NGO. In 2018, in partnership with Doha Debates, Fortify Rights began providing on-the-ground photography and social media training for these three young refugees as part of a project called ‘A Chance to Breathe’: The Wiener Holocaust Library’s exhibition displays many of photographs made as part of this project.
