Uprooted journeys – The role of an object

The exhibition “Uprooted Journeys: The Role of an Object,” co-organized by UNICEF and the National Human Rights Council in Morocco, explores the profound significance of personal belongings in the lives of young people who have been forced to flee war or escape poverty. Through a collection of poignant photographs, the exhibition reveals how cherished objects serve as anchors of identity and memory amidst the turmoil of displacement. Some images depict these items as symbols of grief and desperation, while others highlight their role as testaments to resilience and courage. The exhibition also captures the stark reality of those who have nothing but the clothes on their backs, underscoring the varied experiences of displaced youth and the emotional weight carried by the objects they manage to hold onto.
