Exhibition overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

Finding Refuge<\/em> offers a sensitive and deeply human immersion into the lived experiences of the Rohingya people. An immersive sound journey invites visitors to understand the life journey of a refugee through his own words and memories.<\/p>\n

This story is that of Mohammed Shofi, who was forced to flee Myanmar with his family before the age of one. His journey\u2014from childhood in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh to his arrival in Qu\u00e9bec at the age of 18\u2014is told with striking sensitivity. Authentic sounds\u2014his voice, the ambient noises of the camp, and those of his present-day life\u2014captured through the documentary approach of filmmakers M\u00e9lanie Carrier and Olivier Higgins, immerse visitors in a story that is both luminous and deeply moving, echoing the experiences of millions of people who have been forced to flee in search of refuge. The works of Karine Giboulo convey the intensity and density of life in the camps and the process of taking root in a new land, evoking Shofi\u2019s memories.<\/p>\n

This exhibition extends the documentary film Wandering: A Rohingya Story (Errance sans retour)<\/em>, directed by Olivier Higgins and M\u00e9lanie Carrier and internationally acclaimed. With Finding Refuge<\/em>, the cinematic experience is transformed into an immersive museum installation, offering an intimate encounter with the story of a displaced people.<\/p>\n
