ROHINGYATOGRAPHER
ISSUE #2 / 2023
22x28cm / 148 pages / 217 photos / 20 photographers
In this issue, we delve into the Rohingya community’s relationship with nature and their resilience in the face of harsh living conditions in the refugee camps. Forced to flee their homeland due to persecution and violence, the Rohingya had to quickly adapt to life in the camps, facing challenges with limited resources. Despite these difficulties, the Rohingya remain determined to rebuild their lives and create a better future for themselves and their children. This issue was supported by UNHCR.
