Tell Our Stories: Artifacts from the Assyrian Genocide

Using personal narratives and historical artifacts, this exhibition explores the Assyrian Genocide era — roughly 1895 through 1924 in the Ottoman Empire and Persia — and the subsequent experience of Assyrian resettlement in the US. The exhibition tells the stories of the survivors whose photos we see:  survivors who lost family, endured unspeakable hardship, and built a future for their families. It also features several paintings by contemporary Assyrian artists reflecting on the legacy of the genocide and diaspora.
