Description

The exhibition traces the life experiences of Jewish, Armenian, and Rwandan survivors before, during, and after genocide, using video testimony and archival items from local survivors and custom tablet-based interactives that let visitors individualize their path through the exhibit. Visits conclude in "Stand Up for Human Rights," an interactive section on taking action. Proun Design's own portfolio describes the project (there listed as "Armenian Genocide") as also addressing "atrocities committed upon the Armenians ... Jews during WWII, and more recently, in Rwanda," matching this exhibition's scope.
