A multimedia exhibition of artworks by young refugees from around the world, "Lives in Transition: Expressions of Refugee Youth" features more than 70 photographs as well as writings, recordings, and quilts by refugee youth from Afghanistan, Burma, Colombia, Iraq, Somalia, the Sudan, and Togo.
"Lives in Transition" was created by OSI grantee the AjA Project, a San Diego-based nonprofit dedicated to providing innovative media arts and photography-based educational programs for refugee youth, in partnership with National Geographic and cosponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
"Whether the story involves losing one's parents to paramilitaries in Colombia, barely surviving attacks by the Burmese military regime, or making shoes instead of going to school in Afghanistan, these narratives and images are testimonies to the world's ongoing human rights abuses, as well as pieces of living history that deserve public awareness", said Shinpei Takeda, AjA Project Director.
