The Rohingya art exhibition in the Visual arts centre
Their journey ended in June 2009 when they arrived in carlow. After years of living in Bangladesh refugee camp, members of the Rohingya community were resettled in the town as part of a United Nations refugee programme.
They have told their story through art at a fascinating new exhibition, which opened in Visual last week.
Running for a tow weeks stint until 14 May, the exhibition is the culmination of six weeks of work with local artist Elsie Nolan. Twenty-five members of the Rohingya community took part in the project, with the women supported by Carlow county Development Partnership while the ten men were supported by St Catherine's Community Service Centre.
Their story is told beautifully through their work, with the group. Exploring their past and present, their history to Ireland . Funding for the project under Unum Carlow and Carlow County Enterprise Boards.
