How do the horrors of 1915 influence contemporary (Armenian) culture? What is the role of art in the remembrance of the genocide and how can it offer an alternative narrative to overcome this collective trauma?
Dr. Ton Zwaan, emeritus professor Genocidestudies and Anthropology (UvA) and author at the NIOD (Institute for War-, Holocaust- and Genocidestudies), will give an introductory lecture.
Participating artists:
