Refugees from Dafur: Bahai Refugee Camp. Border of Dafur, Sudan and Chad
© Michal Ronnen Safdie, 2004

Upon her return from the Chad/Darfur, Sudan border, Safdie wrote: "Our first impression is one of devastation, as we gaze at scenes of scattered bodies in destroyed villages, fields and mass graves. While the international community debates whether to use the term genocide (which seems to depend on the number of people killed and the motivation of the killers), the Bahai refugee camp is all about those who survived the killings, the 'lucky.' We might take some comfort in the fact that they have been spared, but what kind of a life are they living, what does the future hold for them?"

The fotos shown in the exhibiton were shot in September 2004 in Darfur.
