"The Armenian Genocide: A Silent Testimony" is a complex interplay of
the extremely horrific events of Genocide and the artistic expression
of the trauma of those events. The various abstract portrayals in the
exhibition will explore the memories and legacy through the personal
experiences and emotional responses of the artists, and explore the
emotional impact of Genocide beyond statistics. It will feature
contemporary artworks by Lucy Janjigian, Berge Missakian, Apo
Torosyan, Berj Kailian, Hope Ricciardi, Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, and
others as well as artifacts from the Museum's collection.
This exhibition is made possible by a generous donation by the
