OVERVIEW
This project was submitted to the Unity for Humanity competition. It focuses on the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority in Myanmar, who have faced state-sanctioned discrimination since the enactment of the 1982 Citizenship Law, effectively rendering them stateless. The goal was to collaborate with local community members to document their experiences and recreate these spaces as an Augmented Reality app, allowing for the preservation and sharing of their stories.
