OCA commissioned British artist Richard Swarbrick to create a rotoscope animation about the enduring plight of the Rohingya, who have faced structural and physical violence in Myanmar for decades. Since a concerted campaign of violence against the Rohingya in August-September 2017, their inequality has been more visible to the international community, but media interest is fading fast. The animation, which is accompanied by a specially-mixed version of the song Give me Hope by the band Three Laws, aims to put a human face on the lived experience of violence and displacement of the Rohingya but also more generally on all displaced people.
