SUMMARY:Quilt Exhibition “A Life Once Had\, A Dream of Hope”
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Asia Justice & Rights and SEA Junction\, the A Life Once Had\, A Dream of Hope exhibition will be held at SEA Junction\, 4th floor\, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) to commemorate International Women’s Day from 7-12 March 2023. The exhibition will display a series of collective quilts from the Rohingya women’s embroideries in Kutupalong Camp Cox’s Bazar\, Bangladesh. \nSince March 2019\, Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR) and the Liberation War Museum (LWM) of Bangladesh have been conducting documentation work using participatory action research with more than 120 women in the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. The process involved sewing activities in sharing their stories and healing while building solidarity and peer support among women survivors. \nUsing embroidery as a medium\, a group of Rohingya women refugees have depicted their life stories\, focusing on their exodus from Myanmar in the face of atrocities. The embroidery expresses their hopes\, dreams\, & memories – a response to being survivors of genocide and the challenges they face living in the refugee camp. Through this exhibition\, we hope to build solidarity and promote human rights for the Rohingya. \nThe exhibition will be launched with a panel discussion “Rohingya Situation: Displacement\, Truth and a long Journey of Finding Solutions” on 7 March 2023\, 5.30-7.00 pm at SEA Junction. The discussion will be joined by Yasmin Ullah\, Rohingya activist; Pranom Somwong\, Protection International; and Galuh Wandita\, AJAR Director. \n \nFor more information\, please email: southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone/wa/signal/line: +66970024140 \nOrganizers \nAsia Justice and Rights (AJAR) is a non-profit organization\, based in Jakarta\, Indonesia\, whose aim is to contribute to the strengthening of human rights and the alleviation of entrenched impunity in the Asia-Pacific region.
