The Everyday People photo exhibition is presented by ChangeMakers Resettlement Forum as part of the World Refugee Week celebrations.

ChangeMakers is a grassroots refugee led NGO which works to support the full participation of refugee background communities in life here in Aotearoa New Zealand. While the media often portrays the refugee community as helpless and dependent, this exhibition aims to change that narrative. Through a series of captivating photographs by Ehsan Hazaveh, we are privileged to share in the daily lives and quiet moments of Wellingtonians from refugee backgrounds as they work, study, play and spend time with friends and family. This exhibition represents people from diverse ethnic and sociocultural backgrounds, and showcases how they, (each in their own way) participate, contribute, and enrich societal life in Aotearoa. We sincerely thank those people of refugee background who have participated in the development of this exhibition.
