I had the honor of presenting a photo essay at the Museum of Photographic Arts to help commemorate World Refugee Day Sunday.
I presented images from the project we completed last year about Har Sin, a refugee from Burma who is deaf and learning formal communication for the first time in his life. I included a number of photos that hadn’t been previously published.
This year’s event highlighted refugees’ contributions to San Diego and local panelists included refugees from Burma and Somalia.
