Watch, listen, and reflect on refugee futures beyond protracted displacement
More than 117 million people worldwide are forcibly displaced; about 42 million are refugees. For many, exile is no longer temporary but a protracted condition lasting decades. What does it mean to build a life in limbo?
This evening opens with a documentary by RK Radhakrishnan on Sri Lankan Tamil refugees in India, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. Thomars Shamuyarira shares his work with The Fruit Basket, an LGBTQI+ refugee-led organization in South Africa, and Abhishek Thapar reflects on rebuilding home at the intersection of loss and belonging. Together with other discussants, they explore how futures are imagined and shaped in contexts of prolonged displacement.
