Syria: Drawing an Uncertain Future
SYRIAN REFUGEE PARTICIPANTS
Refugees of the Syrian Civil War or Syrian refugees are citizens and permanent residents of the Syrian Arab Republic, who have fled from their country since the onset of the Syrian Civil War in 2011 and have sought asylum in other countries. Now, in the sixth year of war, 13.5 million are in need of humanitarian assistance within the country. Among those escaping the conflict, the majority have sought refuge in neighboring countries or within Syria itself. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 4.8 million have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, and 6.6 million are internally displaced within Syria. Meanwhile about one million have requested asylum to Europe. In the past year, migration and refugee movements in the Mediterranean countries have gained unprecedented momentum, while the situation along migratory routes to Europe, and within Europe itself, have become even more dangerous.

to document the stories of Syrian Refugees
"I am so excited to be working on this project. Writing stories could not be an easy task; but it is an interesting one because I am learning new things about life, France, Syria, and Arab refugees, who escape the war to breathe. I can find my self and my personal story in between their stories lines. No words can explain how this project touches me personally. And, I am sure the exhibition will be amazing." Narmin
