About

The CAP is structured as a partnership between four core members, community seats (leaders within the community we are working within), and a collection of collaborators who support to develop, implement and share the projects. The CAP was established in 2022 with support from Médecins Sans Frontières and Amigo & Amigo.

Partnering with the Rohingya Community

Since 2022 the CAP have been partnering with the Rohingya community on a series of projects to share experiences of statelessness and support the community to strengthen a culture that is at threat of disappearing. Three Rohingya folks stepped into the community seats including Asma Nayim Ullah (poet and human rights and youth leader in Sydney), Sujauddin Karimuddin (poet and community leader in Malaysia) and Ruhul (advocate in Kutupalong refugee camp), and a range of great folks have stepped into the collaborator seats, including Adela Lines (art director at Amigo&Amigo), Sajeda Bahadurmia (co-founder of ARWDO) Eloise Liddy (Mutual aid advocate and activist), Victor Caringal (photographer and media designer at MSFA), Noor Azizah (founder of the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network) and Noor Uddin (Rohingya community leader).
