Photos from immigrant and refugee youth on display at Canadian Museum for Human Rights<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Free admission, dazzling evening light show mark International Human Rights Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Exploring a new city. Starting university. Thriving as a community. These are some of the experiences shared in New Beginnings<\/em><\/strong>, a photography installation showcasing the work of immigrant and refugee youth which opens at the CMHR on December 10, International Human Rights Day.<\/p>\n

New Beginnings<\/em>\u00a0is the result of a\u00a0photography project\u00a0called \u201cYouth Lens\u201d\u00a0that took place with 72 young refugees and immigrants\u00a0in Ottawa.\u00a0Organized by U SHINE\u00a0Movement<\/strong> and the Social Planning Council of Ottawa, it brought together youth\u00a0to help\u00a0them share their experiences and dreams for the future through images.<\/p>\n

Youth learned from professional photographers and each other through workshops, which also encouraged lively exchanges between participants about rights, freedoms, and Canadian values, building bridges of understanding and friendship. As part of the project, participants captured the images presented in this installation, which represent their new beginnings in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe joy of being listened to, understood and accepted encourages newcomers like me to be persistent despite the challenges of we face,\u201d said Glory Djouka, a youth featured in New Beginnings<\/em>. \u201cI hope this installation will help others share their stories as immigrants and refugees in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Beginnings<\/em> was curated by U SHINE Movement and is presented at the Museum in partnership with Alliance Fran\u00e7aise du Manitoba. It runs until June 13, 2022.<\/p>\n

Media are invited to a preview of New Beginnings <\/em>on December 9 (details below).<\/p>\n
