NIDHI CHAPHEKAR – “Memories” Campaign, UNOCT/UNCCT Global Victims of Terrorism Support Programme

Nidhi Chaphekar is a survivor of the Da'esh bombing at Zaventem Airport in Brussels, Belgium on 22 March 2016. She was a cabin manager for the Indian airline Jet Airways. For her, the photo, taken moments after the attack, is a symbol of courage and it reminds her that the terrorists never won. Part of our shared human experience is an innate need to attach personal meaning to physical objects: it is something we do from the moment of our birth. Physical objects hold memories, emotions, aspirations: they form links to people no longer with us, and they keep us connected to versions of ourselves that were lost or forever changed—sometimes through growth or the passage of time, sometimes by a traumatic event, such as a terrorist attack. The Memories Exhibition shares the intimate memories of victims of terrorism such as Nidhi, and the personal meaning tied to physical objects they hold dear. Through film and photography, it highlights these stories belonging to the twenty-two portrayed victims of terrorism. The Exhibition was launched in May 2022 at the High-Level Conference on Human Rights, Civil Society and Counter-Terrorism held in Malaga, Spain, and continued to be showcased at the Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism held from 8-9 September, 2022, at the UN Headquarters in New York.
