schau.Räume_global - Mapping the Unseen

Mapping Flight, Isolation and Invisibility of (Rohingya) refugees
15-20 December 2020, OFF SPACE Kunst Raum Villach, Karlgasse 8, AT

The production, developed and realised in Bangladesh, was shown online and in a vacant OFF Space in Villach. As a partner from Bangladesh, Ebadur Rahman chose the theme "Mapping the Devoid of Subjecthood of the invisible Rohingya Refugees" with the title "10 days that shook the World". The resulting films, images and interviews were then shown in Villach and expanded with contributions and discussions from Carinthia, artists, academics and activists on the topic of the refugee crisis and social crisis.
