Photojournalism Hub and Hikayetna present “I Am Your Local…”, a powerful
photography exhibition marking Refugee Week.

This timely exhibition “I Am Your Local…” showcases the work of photographers from
migrant and refugee backgrounds, offering intimate and compelling visual narratives rooted
in lived experience. Through their lenses, we are invited to see beyond stereotypes and
headlines to witness personal journeys of displacement, resilience, and belonging.
At a time when migration is often framed through the lens of crisis, “I Am Your Local…”
shifts the narrative by centring the voices of those with lived experience, reclaiming space
and dignity through visual storytelling.

The exhibition “I am your local…” highlights the power of photography as a creative tool for
expression, empowerment, and social change. The photographs shine a light on
contemporary issues, including border politics, identity, and belonging, offering a deeply
human perspective on today’s global and local realities. But they also celebrate the immense
resilience of migrants and refugees as they navigate practical and personal challenges.
