Inside Light Project

“Yesterday, I was a happy child cheering. However, today I have become a refugee who was expelled from places.”

Inside Light is a photo project by Sevilay Maria for children and young people living in refugee camps. The children were taught how to use a camera and got to photograph themselves inside the camps. They were given the task of capturing things that made them happy to help them find hope in the difficult environment they lived in.
To raise awareness about the initiative, CHPO hosted a photo exhibition at Skatecafe in Amsterdam and at a gallery in Stockholm. The exhibition consisted of photos from the refugee camps in Lesvos taken by both Sevilay Maria and the children who live in the camps.
