SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"Call Me Rohingya\"
DESCRIPTION:Photo Exhibition Opening by Andrew Stanbridge - Call Me Ro
 hingya\r\n\r\nOpening event: Friday, 30 Nov 2018, 7pm at the Foreign C
 orrespondents Club of Thailand\r\n\r\nEntrance free. \r\n\r\n\"In 201
 2, violence broke out in the capital of Rakhine state in Burma between
  the Buddhist Rakhine and the Muslim Rohingya. Over 150,000 Rohingya w
 ere forced to flee from their homes into detainment camps. The violenc
 e spread throughout Rakhine state and thousands of other Rohingya were
  forced into similar camps with little access to food and medical and 
 other aid. In 2017 numerous horrendous attacks in the form of murder, 
 rape and assault by the Burmese police and military initiated a mass e
 xodus from Burma to neighboring Bangladesh took place. In the first mo
 nth alone over 700,000 Rohingya fled to safety. I began photographing 
 the Rohingya shortly after the initial violence in 2012 and continued 
 to work with them periodically until 2017 when I photographed the refu
 gees arriving into Bangladesh. \r\n\r\nIn both instances, I became co
 ncerned that the media had come to dehumanize the Rohingya by solely s
 howing imagery of them packed into boats or the vastness of the detent
 ion camps. I therefore set out to make individual dignified portraits 
 of many of the Rohingya residing in the camps and in the process of es
 caping to allow viewers to look them in the eye and work to regain the
 ir identities as individuals in the world's vision.\"\r\n\r\nAndrew St
 anbridge is a Portland, Oregon based photographer who concentrates on 
 global humanitarian, conflict and environmental stories. He has made p
 hotographs of the Syrian civil war, Burma's road to democracy, Rohingy
 a issues, the post colonial culture and delicate biodiversity of Sao T
