Exhibit: "Never Again: From Cambodia to Darfur and Beyond"
The Student Union Art Gallery, located between People's and Earthfoods in the Student Union, proudly presents three exhibits that share a commitment to educating our communities about genocide and empowering people to take action.
STAND: A Student Anti-Genocide Coalition and the Western Massachusetts Darfur Coalition present "The Children of Darfur: Surviving Genocide," a collection of drawings made by children at the Kalma refugee camp in Darfur.
"Ending the Silence in Cambodia" is an exhibit of the drawings, poetry, and prose that explore the legacy of the Khmer Rouge genocide made by Cambodian and Cambodian-American youth and adults in artistic workshops led by artist Leah Roth-Howe.
"Beyond Genocide" is an exhibit of contemporary illuminated manuscripts by artist Amy Fagin. The thoroughly researched and delicately rendered manuscripts wrestle intimately with mass atrocities from all corners of the planet.
