20th Century Illuminations – Beyond Genocide focuses on the ways in which art can enable us to reflect on our most basic human rights. Since 1985, artist Amy Fagin has been creating compositions that incorporate an intellectual curiosity with a sinuous arrangement of space, pattern, symbolism, and representational imagery.

“Beyond Genocide” is a series of 25 contemporary illuminated manuscripts examining regions of the world where large scale episodes of genocide and mass annihilation have been perpetrated, including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, and the Holocaust.
