I’m Hassan Ati a Hazara Shia minority form Afghanistan that we are the most vulnerable group in Afghanistan we have been persecuted for years. I left Afghanistan because of war and persecution. Hazara people in Afghanistan have always been subjected to ethnic genocide. And every year Hazara people have been targeted by targeted suicide attacks.

Currently I’m living in Indonesia as a refugee without any basic human rights such as formal education, work or even travel between cities. It’s almost 6 years that I’m waiting for resettlement and a peaceful life, but unfortunately there is no any good news for me from UNHCR.

Despite the refugee challenging life here, I am trying to get myself involve in learning painting and photography and I'm also active in documentary and street photography.
