This project empowers Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh through collaborative art programs that provide a vital outlet for healing, self-expression, and connection. Participants create murals and sculptures to process trauma, preserve cultural heritage, and foster resilience. These creative initiatives strengthen mental well-being, promote social cohesion, and inspire hope, transforming lives in one of the world's most vulnerable communities.
Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh face severe trauma from forced displacement, violence, and loss, compounded by life in overcrowded camps with limited resources. This leads to widespread mental health challenges, social isolation, and a loss of cultural identity. Without creative outlets or community support, many struggle to process their experiences and build resilience, leaving them vulnerable to hopelessness and despair.
This project will provide Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh with collaborative art programs, including mural painting and sculpture creation. These activities offer safe spaces for participants to process trauma, express their stories, and reconnect with their cultural heritage. Led by trained local Rohingya teaching artists, the workshops foster resilience, strengthen community bonds, and promote mental well-being, helping refugees heal and regain a sense of hope and identity.
This project will leave a lasting impact by empowering Rohingya refugees to rebuild their sense of identity and resilience through art. The skills, confidence, and community connections gained will help participants advocate for their needs and inspire future generations. The murals and sculptures will stand as enduring symbols of hope, cultural pride, and unity, fostering a stronger, more cohesive refugee community for years to come.
