Ek Khaale – Once Upon A Time
The Rohingya – A Visual Restoration: Memory, Identity and Shared Histories
At this event, Greg Constantine will share the story behind Ek Khaale—its
research-based approach, its significance for the Rohingya and other
Burmese communities, and some of the most remarkable discoveries from
the past four years.
For people in Myanmar (Burma), the Rohingya community’s history has long been questioned, denied, and erased. Much of their visual history—family photos, archives, and personal records—was lost or destroyed during decades of persecution and displacement.
Ek Khaale (“Once Upon A Time” in Rohingya) is a collaborative archival project initiated by Greg Constantine. It gathers rare photographs, letters, and personal documents from Rohingya families worldwide to help restore their collective memory, identity, and history.
