Picturing the Rohingya Genocide: Resistance, Resilience & Remembrance

As we approach the sixth anniversary of the tragic events that unfolded on August 25, 2017, we are dedicated to commemorating Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day, honouring the memory of the lives lost during the brutal attacks by Myanmar’s armed forces.
