Art as a Voice Against Genocide: Memory, Awareness, and Action

This project highlights the importance of remembering and raising awareness about genocide, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan. Through creative expression and art competitions like "Beyond the Bones" and "One Million Bones," students and community members have joined forces to honor victims and advocate for human rights. The efforts aim to create a visible movement that increases global awareness of these atrocities while supporting the displaced and vulnerable survivors. Art serves as a powerful tool for change and remembrance.
