NO EASY DAY

The One Minutes Jr. team travelled to Dhaka for a five-day workshop with 15 young people living on the streets in Dhaka and receiving support in shelters by UNICEF Bangladesh. They learned filmmaking and editing skills, discovering the power of storytelling.


PASSING THE LOVE curated by Fehras Publishing Practices 

The series employs intimate portraits of individuals, friends, families, and collectives as a tool for circulating affection and serves as a visual diary of emotional landscapes. It draws upon love — a vital force that sustains us through darkness. “Love” is imbued with profound meaning, not as pictured in Hollywood, but as a reflection of the complexities of shared human experiences and connections. The films encapsulate moments of care, longing, vulnerability, forgetting and becoming.

The work is an invitation to consider the power of love as a methodology and the importance of community, encouraging us to find solace and strength in one another.
