“The Armenian Genocide: A Silent Testimony” is a complex interplay of the extremely horrific events of genocide and the artistic expression of the trauma of those events. The various abstract portrayals in the exhibition will explore memories and legacy through the personal experiences and emotional responses of the artists, and explore the emotional impact of genocide beyond statistics.

It will feature contemporary artworks by Lucy Janjigian, Berge Missakian, Apo Torosyan, Berj Kailian, Hope Ricciardi, Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, and others, as well as artifacts from the museum’s collection.

The Armenian Museum of America is located at 65 Main St. in Watertown.
