About Hannah Rose Thomas:
Hannah has previously organised art projects with Syrian refugees in Jordan; with Yezidi women who escaped ISIS captivity in Northern Iraq and with Rohingya children in refugee camps in Bangladesh.
Her most recent art project has been with survivors of Boko Haram and Fulani violence in Northern Nigeria. Through these art projects and Hannah’s portrait paintings, she seeks to bring the stories of those who have faced displacement and conflict-related sexual violence into places of influence in the Global North.
