Description
While artistic representation of the destruction of European Jews has had a long and ongoing response, less is visible with other genocides. The 1990s have witnessed an increased awareness of genocide as a subject for artistic expression. Art about Armenians, Roma and Native Americans - victims of past genocides - as well as attempts to represent events in Bosnia and Africa have become more visible in galleries and museums
