Role of Visual Images in Refugee Representation
Visual images play a crucial role in shaping our perceptions of refugees. They have the power to convey complex narratives, evoke emotions, and influence public attitudes towards forced migration. Photos of refugees highlight their struggles, resilience, and humanity, shedding light on their experiences and drawing attention to their needs. The media's coverage of forced migration varies, influenced by factors such as geopolitical interests, humanitarian crises, and public opinion. Terminology used to describe displacement crises can impact how we interpret and respond to them. This prompts critical questions about media representation, audience engagement, and the impact of imagery on social consciousness.
