Overview
The fate of violent extremist groups depends largely on how states respond. This 5-part study by UNDP and the EU explores the localised and transnational factors that influence extremism and violence in South-East Asia, and the actions that are needed by governments and development agencies in order to prevent it.
Palim led the development of visual storytelling for the Entry and Exit Points study, culminating in a digital campaign, exhibition of multimedia in Bangkok, Thailand, and virtual exhibition at the Oslo III Conference for the Prevention of Violent Extremism. Social concepts can be difficult to contextualise. Through assembling a local-level team of multimedia journalists and videographers, photo essays and videos were developed to provide a human face to the social issues and factors influencing extremism in Asia.
As part of this study, Palim interviewed people who had been affected by extremism in different ways. Each story presents at best an incomplete picture, but by sharing aspects of their raw lived experiences, we can begin to better understand what violent extremism means in the context of this diverse region.
