À propos du livre
In the tradition of documentary photography, Zia presents an engaging visual narrative that captures the Rohingya community striving to build a better life for their children amidst the undeniably harsh realities of the refugee camps. It is a fragile existence threatened by deadly fires, heavy monsoon rains, floods and landslides. Yet, there are everyday moments of joy, tenderness, perseverance and hope as the Rohingya community lives between two worlds – their homeland and the refugee camps, the past and the uncertain future.

À propos du créateur
My name is Sahat Zia Hero. I was born in 1994 in Taung Pyo Let Way, Maungdaw Township, Arakan State, Myanmar. In 2012, I was studying Physics at the University of Sittwe but due to the systematic discrimination of the Rohingya, I was excluded from attending his second year at university. In August 2017, due to the genocide perpetrated by the Burmese army against the Rohingya people, I and my family were forced to flee our home. I currently live with my family in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh with almost 1 million Rohingya refugees. I'm a photographer, poet, storyteller and human rights activist. Between 2018 and 2020, i had been worked as a Team Leader of Volunteers for the Danish Refugee Council. I currently work as a freelance photographer for various NGOs and international media outlets. My photographs have been published in articles by Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Amnesty International South Asia, Danish Refugee Council and the Norwegian Refugee Council.
