SUMMARY:Public Seminar: "Ek Khaale" Once Upon a Time - The Rohingya\, a Visual Restoration; Memory\, Identity and Shared Histories
DESCRIPTION:For people in Myanmar (Burma)\, the Rohingya community’s history has been\, at best\, questioned\, and at worst —and in reality—rejected outright. Much of the Rohingya’s visual history has been lost\, confiscated or destroyed during waves of violence\, forced displacement and genocide over the past 60 years. This destruction continues today. This has severely undermined ways in which the Rohingya preserve and share their collective memory\, identity and history with others.\n\n \n\nEk Khaale is the Rohingya expression for ‘Once Upon A Time’. The project Ek Khaale was launched by award winning documentary photojournalist Greg Constantine. It is a collaborative storytelling and visual restoration project with Rohingya all over the world.\n\n \n\nThis project brings together rare and never before seen old photographs\, family collections\, documents\, letters\, illustrations and other historical materials from the past and activates them in the present. By exposing this unseen past\, this project aims to share a visual portrait of the Rohingya most people have never seen before. It also challenges historical narratives and reconstructs what Burmese regimes and other communities have spent decades trying to destroy.\n\n \n\nIn this special lecture\, Greg will talk about the history of this groundbreaking project\, the use of research-based archival work\, and the significance of the project for the Rohingya community and other communities from Burma. He will share several of the most important discoveries over the past four years as well as the stories behind them.\n\n \n\nView the Ek Khaale project online here.\n\n \n\nEk Khaale will also be on exhibit at the Chiang Mai Alliance Francaise Gallery from July 9-19th.\n\n \n\nGreg Constantine is an award winning documentary photojournalist and author. He has dedicated his career to long-term\, independent projects that explore the intersection of human rights\, inequality\, injustice\, citizenship\, identity\, belonging and the power of the state. His long term projects include: Nowhere People\,  Exiled To Nowhere and Seven Doors.  He is the author of three award winning photography books and his work has been exhibited in over 40 cities around the world. Constantine has been documenting the persecution of the Rohingya community for the past 19 years.  In 2020\, he began working with Rohingya on the project Ek Khaale. In early 2017\, he received his PhD from Middlesex University in the UK and has since received Independent Scholar as well as Early Career Fellowships from the Independent Social Research Foundation and Queen Mary University in London.  Most recently\, he was a Hearst Visiting Fellow at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication.
