The camp began informally in 1991 after thousands of Rohingyas fled from violent ethnic and religious persecution in neighbouring Myanmar and it has expanded dramatically in the decades since, now housing over 900,000 refugees, as the Burmese military has intensified their brutal crackdowns and extensive attacks on Myanmar’s Rohingya in Rakhine State.<\/p>\n Described by the United Nations as the most persecuted minority in the world, the Rohingya people face challenging and restricted lives in the camps. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, international journalists could no longer travel to the camps and this served as an impulse for a collective of Rohingya photographers<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to start using social media to tell their own stories to the world.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slider _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||18px|||” custom_padding=”||724px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#969696″ background_enable_color=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/imagingpeace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/001-3-months-Onaisa-Khan-@Enayet-1-copy.jpg” background_enable_image=”on” width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”0%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”][\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Actor|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_5_font=”Antic Slab|–et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||” header_5_font_size=”15px” custom_margin=”2px||||false|false” custom_padding=”2px|0px||58px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|300|||||||” text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||42px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In 2022, they started publishing a magazine<\/a>, Rohingyatographer<\/em><\/span>. Founded and led by Sahat Zia Hero<\/a> with support from Spanish photographer David Palaz\u00f3<\/span>n<\/a>, the magazine is available in digital and printed formats, with all proceeds going directly to the photographers. The first issue deals with the subject of identity through recording the daily life and stories of the displaced community. It pays testimony to the strength, endurance, and resilience of the Rohingya people. It is a collective chronological portrait of people in the camps, from the youngest baby of 2 months to the oldest, a man of 102 years, and features 165 colour photographs by 11 young Rohingya photographers. Two photographers in the camps use their own DSLR cameras, while others use the cameras on their phones.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”4px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/imagingpeace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Magazine-cover-copy.jpg” title_text=”Magazine-cover-copy” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Actor|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_5_font=”Antic Slab|–et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||” header_5_font_size=”15px” custom_margin=”2px||49px||false|false” custom_padding=”2px|0px||0px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/imagingpeace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Magazine-2-Cover-792×1024.jpg” title_text=”Magazine-2-Cover” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Actor|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_5_font=”Antic Slab|–et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||” header_5_font_size=”15px” custom_margin=”2px||||false|false” custom_padding=”2px|2px||0px||false” custom_padding_tablet=”2px|58px||259px||false” custom_padding_phone=”|||31px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”4px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|300|||||||” text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.2em” custom_padding=”||11px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Over 50% of the camp population are under the age of 18 years old but despite limited access to formal education and an uncertain future, many young refugees have a strong commitment to learn skills by themselves and to teach others. The magazine serves as a creative platform for Rohingya youth to develop their photography skills, to build a sense of identity, to keep their culture and history alive and to connect with outsiders. In addition, the collective has had several exhibitions, including their inaugural virtual show ‘We are Rohingya<\/em>\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and the latest ‘The Rohingya Experience<\/em>\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/span> featuring the images of 26 Rohingya photographers in the streets of St. Helier city centre on the Island of Jersey. Sahat Zia Hero explains that the Rohingya youth involved in the project have found solace and purpose in photography amid a pervasive sense of hopelessness that anything will change for people in the camps.”<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#EBEFE6″ custom_margin=”37px|auto|61px|auto||” custom_padding=”91px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Sahat Zia Hero” job_title=”Founder, editor, and photographer” company_name=”Rohingyatographer” font_icon=”||fa||900″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”31px” body_line_height=”1.2em” author_font_size=”24px” author_line_height=”1.2em” custom_padding=”|0px||4px||” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u2018We hope our zine audience will be interested in seeing the life of the Rohingya refugee community through our own eyes.

\u00a9 Enayet Khan \/ <\/strong>Rohingyatographer, Bangladesh <\/strong><\/h5>\nMd. Hasson\u2014or “Asun,\u201d as his friends like to call him\u2014is 13 years old. He is a junior member of the Rohingyatographer collective. He holds a photo taken of him in 2017 when he was 8 years old, crying desperately while climbing on an aid truck. The image, taken by Canadian photographer Kevin Frayer, was shortlisted as one of the 100 best photographs by Time Magazine in 2017 and won a Pulitzer Prize. Hasson was born deaf-mute. He has developed his own remarkable language of gestures to communicate with others. His playful and creative way of expressing himself has made him very popular among his friends. His mother passed away the day she gave birth, and he was raised by his aunt and uncle. Like most boys his age, he spends most of the time in and around learning centres in the camps. He would benefit from an education program tailored towards children with special needs; however, opportunities for those with different abilities are extremely limited in the refugee camp.
