17 June is the start of Refugee Week, which takes place every year across the world. The U.K. has a programme of cultural and educational events to celebrate the contribution refugees have made. This year’s theme ‘You, me and those who came before’ is ‘an invitation to explore the lives of refugees – and those who have welcomed them – throughout the generations’.
Looking through the Endangered Archives’ collection, I came across a file of photographs taken by Madanmani Dixit, the first photojournalist in Nepal.
The photographs were taken at a refugee camp in Bangai village in 1971, and depict refugees who have escaped the atrocities of the Bangladesh Liberation War. It seemed appropriate at the start of this week to share some of these powerful images on the EAP blog.
