Nada's sketchbook كتاب ندى للرسم

Nada is from a large family (12 sisters and 2 brothers) and has lived in Za'atari refugee camp since 2013. Eight of her brothers and sisters also live in Za'atari. She and five of her sisters got married in Za'atari.

“We left our house in Syria in 2011 and for about two years we traveled from village to village. We fled just before the fighting started in full and therefore, we were a bit better off than some other families that we fleeing. Sometimes we stayed in tents, sometimes in house of which the owners had fled also.

This book used to belong to my sister, she used it to practice her maths in it. I tore out the pages with maths. At the beginning of the war, when I was 16 years old, I started drawing in it. Now I am 26, and it is almost full with drawings and poems. I Syria I was in school, but I had to quit. Here in the camp, someone saw my drawings and thanks to this sketchbook, I now have a job as an arts teachers in one of the daycare centers here.”

Come see Nada's story and others at:
"A piece of Syria - Stories from Syrian refugees told through cherished possessions"

1 - 31 July, Mariënburg Public Library, Nijmegen, the Netherlands

We photographed Syrian refugees in Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan and interviewed them about objects that they took with them as they fled. The exhibition aims to shed light on the plight of refugees through very common objects.
