Stateless Rohingya: ‘Running on Empty’

Bangkok (Mizzima) – Award-winning Thai photographer Suthep Kritsanavarin will exhibit photographs depicting the plight of the Rohingya at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre now through Sunday.

Titled “Stateless Rohingya…Running on Empty,” the exhibit is supported by the Asian Resource Foundation and the Asean Inter-Parliamentary Myanmar Caucus.

Suthep worked on the project for three years. It tells the story of the Rohingyas, an ethnic and Muslim religious minority from Burma, largely unknown to the world. Without citizen rights in Burma, many have fled to India and Bangladesh to seek refugee status.

As a photojournalist, Suthep Kritsanavarin has chronicled environmental, social, and humanitarian issues in Southeast Asia for nearly two decades. His award-winning photography essays have been published in: The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, the Far Eastern Economic Review, Time, Geographical, Aera, Days Japan, and Geo. He has also exhibited his documentary photography in Germany, France, China, Japan, Thailand, and Cambodia.
