Some scars are visible. Others are carried in silence.

Unseen Scars brings forward real experiences of racism and discrimination—and explores the emotional impact that can remain long after the moment has passed.

Through lived experiences, storytelling and reflection, MEHAR invites us to listen, understand and start conversations that matter.

Watch the teaser. Share it. Start a conversation.
