Living in Exile: Young Iraqi refugees in Syria
In the summer of 2008 New Exposure, with the support of the UNHCR, worked with a group of young Iraqis who sought refuge in Damascus. British photographers Tom Saunderson and Tim Smyth spent one month teaching them the basics of photography and talking about their lives as refugees. The work they produced provides an original and highly personal glimpse into the hopes and fears of ordinary Iraqi people in the wake of the violence which has torn their country apart.
Each day this week we will be showcasing photographs by the students. Click on the image (right) to see the first in the series taken by Amir.
