Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives

Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives honours the integrity of survivor voices from a wide range of genocides and mass atrocities in the global past and present. While each survivor voice is unique, the visual narratives generated through this project share a united message: that genocide and mass atrocities are to be unequivocally condemned, wherever and whenever they occur. The network of diverse teams spans varied genocide contexts, remembrance communities and cultural contexts around the world, but they have a shared commitment to arts-based, trauma-informed and survivor-centred research. Co-directed by UVic scholar Charlotte Schallié, the project is made up of an international team of artists, researchers, and filmmakers.
