It’s time for our voices to be heard, in our own words - Rahila
‘Seeking Asylum: Our Stories is a photobook authored by 24 people with lived experience of seeking asylum. Published in December 2021, the book has already sold more than 6000 copies. I worked as the producer and photographer for the project in collaboration with an oversight committee of people with lived experience who held authority on participant selection.
Available now in all major bookstores.
“Through telling our stories, we have the opportunity to own the narrative about people seeking asylum. We are not a headline, a statistic or a slogan, but human beings.”
— Liliana Maria Sanchez Cornejo: storyteller, cultural educator, anthropologist and activist.
