Echoes of Resilience: Unveiling Stories of Devastation, Survival, and Hope
Zeru Foundation, in collaboration with International House Davis, presents Echoes of Resilience, a traveling multimedia exhibition centered on the lived experiences of survivors of the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquakes.
Developed through fieldwork in earthquake-affected regions of Türkiye, the exhibition brings together oral narratives, photography, music, personal artifacts, and visual art to document stories of loss, survival, and rebuilding. The exhibition also includes educational materials exploring the impacts of trauma and pathways toward healing.
On display as part of the Roots & Routes series at International House Davis, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on themes of migration, displacement, belonging, and the meaning of home.
The exhibition includes:
– Guided walk-throughs highlighting personal stories and broader themes of identity and migration
– “We Are Still Here” a participatory installation by Talebeyiz Biz, a youth-led cooperative supporting creative expression among young people in earthquake-affected communities.
– A community dialogue session facilitated by Zeru Foundation and I-House Davis.
– At its core, the exhibition asks: How do individuals and communities rebuild after profound disruption? And how can art and storytelling support healing and resilience?
This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the symposium “The 2023 Türkiye–Syria Earthquakes: Three Years Later” hosted by UC Davis Global Affairs.
