A single #refugee mother who can only survive with the held of the local community at #Turkman refugee village near Nowshera. She will now face the hard choice of #repatriation whether forced or by choice.
I'm posting a number of photos here. Some have been published and seen before, others have not. They are for possible contribution to a global photo book project. There will be several new postings a day over the next few days.
Unfortunately this seems to be the attitude all over the Europe today. There are plenty of people needing help - only today over 2000 refugees arrived at the railway station in Munich, Germany.
In 1971, Bangladesh was East part of Pakistan. Pakistani military junta based in West Pakistan launched military operation against the people of East Pakistan with elimination of nationalist Bengali civilians, students, intelligentsia, religious minorities . Pakistani military and islamist militias engaged in mass murder. 10 millions of Bengalis refugees fled to India. This picture has been taken in a refugee camp at indian border near the town of Bangaon in september 1971.
In december, after a war between India and Pakistan, Bangladesh became independant.

We think of him as safe beneath the steeple,
Or cosy in a crib beside the font,
But he is with a million displaced people
On the long road of weariness and want.
For even as we sing our final carol
His family is up and on that road,
Fleeing the wrath of someone else’s quarrel,
Glancing behind and shouldering their load.
Whilst Herod rages still from his dark tower
Christ clings to Mary, fingers tightly curled,
The lambs are slaughtered by the men of power,
And death squads spread their curse across the world.
But every Herod dies, and comes alone
To stand before the Lamb upon the throne.
Those fleeing conflict and atrocities in eastern Congo take refuge at a Baptist Church on the outskirts of the town Goma. The church has been turned into a refugee camp and offers assistance to those in need. Here they gather for a time of celebration.

Many Afghan families travel from Farah, Afghanistan into Iran to find work. Often times when these families return from Iran they find that their homes have either been destroyed or taken over by squatters.
Refugee/returnee camps have been set up around the province to address this issue and help families get back on their feet.
We spent 2 days in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta which borders Morocco. In Ceuta i visited and photographed a group of Syrian Refugees who crossed into Ceuta illegally and hoped to then get across to mainland Europe. Many were detained by the Spanish authorities and put in a refugee camp. 55 of the refugees have now set up a protest camp in Plaza de los Reyes in protest at the poor conditions in the refugee camp. The authorities cannot send the refugees back to Morocco and will not allow them go across to mainland Spain so at the moment they are stuck in limbo in Ceuta
My work is a remix of Pussy Riot’s 2015 performance at Dismaland, which highlighted the injustices perpetrated by European borders, law enforcement, anti-immigration sentiments and policy, and apathetic citizens. All of these factors are at play in the North American context as refugees seek asylum in Canada by crossing the border on foot in the middle of winter.
I performed a series of actions in and around Emerson, Manitoba and the nearby Canada-US border, which were photographed on film as per my direction. The work has an element of performance, in that I interacted with the landscape and was influenced by my environment as I was photographed against the harsh conditions of the crossing.
My actions were influenced by Pussy Riot’s passion and dissent, and their aesthetics. I wanted to directly call on the state, passersby, and my audience to confront their own complacency as this crisis continues to unfold. I seek to draw attention to the inherent violence of international borders and the irony of their construction across stolen Indigenous lands. As a white, settler Canadian, I want to meaningfully interrogate my own ongoing complicity in colonization, and the complicity that is shared by all who settle in Canada.
The photographs demand that empty rhetoric and broken promises be followed up by action. This indeed requires increased resources and concentrated efforts but like Pussy Riot, I believe that it is our moral duty to act.
