本日、世界難民の日です。
それに因んで、ウガンダの若い難民たち（12歳〜20歳）によって撮影された写真展のご案内です。
残念ながら、開催地は日本国外です。ロンドン、ワシントン、カンパラ（ウガンダ）の3カ所で、それぞれ開催期間が異なります。
International Medical Corps (IMC)が医療ケアを提供しているウガンダ西部において、12歳〜20歳の若い難民たちによって撮影された数千枚に及ぶ写真の中から、60点が展示されるというものです。ナショナルジオグラフィックとの共同で取り組まれたフォトキャンプでは、写真家Reza Deghati、Ed Kashi、Chris RainierとNeo Ntsomaたちが技術的な事や写真を通して物語を伝える事などを教え、「環境」、「キャンプでの私の生活」「セルフポートレイト」というトピックを与えられ、難民キャンプで暮らす事となった自分たちの感情を写真を通して表現しています。
レンズを通して、自分たちの命をあらためて見る時、写真を撮るというだけでなく、施錠された過去の辛い経験を子どもたちは開放するという、写真を使ったセラピー療法がトラウマを持つ子どもたちに、長期間の回復に効果的なツールであるとIMCなどの救済機関が認めています。

Young Ugandan Refugees Capture Camp Life in National Geographic-International Medical Corps Photo Exhibit
May 16, 2007 Santa Monica, Calif.―Powerful images by young refugees of war depicting life in a Ugandan refugee settlement will be on display at the National Geographic Museum from Thursday, May 17 through Monday, September 3. The exhibit coincides with World Refugee Day on June 20 and aims to highlight the plight of those who have fled war, famine and other disasters in their home countries.
The 60 photographs were selected from thousands taken during a Photo Camp held for young refugees ages 12-20 at a settlement in western Uganda where International Medical Corps provides health care services. The photo workshops held in November 2006 were a collaboration between National Geographic and IMC, in partnership with the U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR.
Mentored by renowned National Geographic photographers Reza Deghati, Ed Kashi and Chris Rainier, and South African photographer Neo Ntsoma, the students were taught photographic techniques and guided through the process of telling a story through images. They attended a series of workshops where they were assigned the topics “Surroundings,” “My Life in the Camp” and “Self-portraits.” The workshops allowed the young people to express their feelings of displacement and their interpretation of home through photography. IMC staff then used the photographs in counseling the students on coping with the turbulence of refugee life.
In viewing their lives through the camera’s lens, the participants not only produced striking photographs, but the process allowed them to unlock painful images and experiences from the past. Relief agencies like IMC have realized that art therapy is an effective tool in helping with long-term recovery for traumatized populations, especially children.
An identical exhibit, titled “Through the Eyes of Children: Life as a Refugee in Uganda,” will be displayed at Oxo Tower Wharf in London from June 14 to July 1. UNHCR also will display the photographs at the National Museum of Uganda in Kampala to commemorate World Refugee Day beginning June 18.
The National Geographic Museum at Explorers Hall, 1145 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., is open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For information on the “Photo Camp 2006: Uganda” exhibit, the public should call (202) 857-7588 or visit http://
International Medical Corps is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, IMC is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization.
