Migration & Asylum Project - M.A.P

Migration & Asylum Project was established in 2013, with the primary objective of operating as a centre for the study of refugee law and forced migration.

The organisation gets its name from the Latin word "ara" which means "shelter". The organisation is registered under Sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Ara is a woman-led organisation and has an all-woman staff. Its primary objective is to adopt innovative methods to expand the protection space available for forced migrants and refugees in India.

Nyaay Kala, held on the sidelines of Nyaay Sabha, brought some of India’s most significant constitutional judgments to life through art. Featuring original works by ten artists, mentored by the brilliant Justice (Retd.) Anjana Prakash, the exhibition reimagined landmark legal decisions as powerful visual narratives that centre the people behind them. From Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala to Aruna Shanbaug v. Union of India, the artworks interpreted transformative judgments that have shaped India’s constitutional landscape.

By moving beyond the courtroom, these artworks made complex legal ideas more accessible and relatable, presenting constitutional judgments not only as legal milestones, but as living ideas that continue to shape our freedoms and our understanding of justice, equality, and accountability.

The exhibition was showcased at the India Habitat Centre on 14th and 15th March.

We are delighted to introduce to you our talented refugee artists! In today's post, MAP is honored to showcase the extraordinary work of a Tibetan artist at our upcoming "Ipsh*ta: Desire for my Homeland: A Refugee Artisan Market and Exhibition."

For Jampa Namgyal, who was born in a small Tibetan village, art serves as a profound bridge between memory and identity—a medium through which stories, emotions, and cultural legacies find preservation and expression. His deep passion for sharing Tibetan culture inspired him to pursue both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Fine Arts from the Department of Painting at Banaras Hindu University.

Jampa's artistic vision draws inspiration from Tibet's rich traditions, spirituality, and cultural heritage. Through his artwork, he explores these fundamental themes as a means of preserving and communicating his people's enduring legacy. With substantial experience in children's book illustration and participation in numerous art exhibitions, he discovers profound joy in sharing the stories and struggles that define his country and culture. His greatest hope is that viewers will experience Tibet through the unique lens of his artistic perspective.

During the market and exhibition, Jampa will be available to discuss his work and explore the significance of holding on to your homeland through art. Through this initiative, MAP creates a rare opportunity for audiences to engage directly with artists whose work seamlessly bridges traditional craftsmanship with the contemporary refugee experience. Don't miss this opportunity!

The scent of home rises from borrowed pots, defying distance and displacement. In unfamiliar kitchens, familiar spices become acts of resistance against erasure. Each recipe carried across borders is a desire for a homeland that cannot be taken away...

For refugees and forcibly displaced persons, cooking traditional meals represents far more than sustenance—it's the preservation of identity, culture, and hope. Stirring memories into meals, they rebuild their sense of self one dish at a time. The taste of tomorrow is seasoned with the courage to remember yesterday.

Join us for 'Ipsh*ta: Desire for My Homeland – A Refugee Artisan Market and Exhibition' to meet those that find different ways to keep home alive, and travel the world through your tastebuds!
