October events and exhibition in Canada
Ek Khaale, the Rohingya expression for “Once Upon A Time,” is a storytelling and visual restoration project by photographer Greg Constantine. Launched in 2021, he has worked with Rohingya youth and elders, to expose the unseen past from old photographs, family collections, documents, letters and illustrations combined with historical materials from a variety of public and private archives.
In October, there will be a series of events and exhibition in Canada which will engage the public, policy makers, students and Myanmar communities as well as provide opportunities for shared Myanmar narratives.
The events and exhibition is in collaboration with IDRC’s Knowledge for Democracy Myanmar (K4DM), Myanmar Policy and Community Knowledge (MyPack) at University of Toronto, Parliamentary Friends of a Democratic Burma, Myanmar Culture Club, Tea Circle, The Burma Canadian Association of Ontario and the Rohingya Centre of Canada.
