More than three years after it began, the exodus of refugees from Syria’s brutal civil war still struggles to get the world’s attention.
On World Refugee Day, June 20, the plight of those refugees will be visible at Ottawa City Hall in a special, one-day exhibit sponsored by CARE Canada and the UN High Commission on Refugees.
The ‘Dear World‘ exhibit features the photographs of Robert Fogarty, who visited refugee camps in Jordan to document the struggle of some of the millions of Syrians displaced by bloodshed. Fogarty gave his subjects a black marker and asked them to write on their bodies, putting their feelings into words for the camera.
“I’ve spent a lot of time going through these photos and what strikes me is that they are very real, very authentic,” said Darcy Knoll, a spokesman for CARE Canada. “When people see them I think they’re realize that these are real people suffering.”
CARE is currently working with refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt as well as displaced people within Syria itself, Knoll said.
The exhibit runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 20 at City Hall.
