TIME TO ACT: Rohingya voices

Temporary/Travelling Exhibition: 1800 sq. ft. – Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Role: Design Director / Art Director / Film Director

 

Time to Act: Rohingya Voices was developed by CMHR in collaboration with photojournalist Kevin Frayer and a group of Rohingya and Burmese community members who live in Canada.

​

Frayer’s photographs appear in this exhibition as part of a larger body of his work from 2017 called Desperate Journey: The Rohingya Exodus. The photographs document the flight of Rohingya refugees from deadly violence in Myanmar and the physical hardships of life in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Members of the Rohingya community who live in Canada contributed video footage, photographs, artifacts and interviews to the exhibition. These elements not only document the humanitarian and refugee crisis in Bangladesh, but also community life in Canada.

​

Community members are also participants in a voice-driven interactive experience, allowing visitors to know them and their life experiences through a personal exchange of questions and answers.
