In the space I want to revisit the Holocaust and what it teaches to us humans in terms of treatment and respect of others. Then, I would like to inform the general public of three current genocides that have or are taking place today such as Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur. The main idea in raising these issues is to ask ourselves, "how could this happen again?" as well as to not become indifferent to the suffering of others.
This exhibition will force you to ask yourself, "what can I do?" because what everyone of us does MATTERS. By making truth accessible we are educating future generations and influencing them to not allow such tragedies to occur.
Possibly the most important function of The Humanity Project is to remember and acknowledge facts about human rights.
"Memory is what shapes us. Memory is what teaches us. We must understand that's where our redemption is." - Estelle Laughlin, Holocaust Survivor

I'm excited to see the final outcome! The ribbon is a very intriguing element in your space. I like how you're pushing the envelope to force people to feel something that they might not be aware of and in a strong way. Yes they might feel outraged but that feeling might force them to look into their daily lives and the instances that might occur around them. It only takes one person to make a difference and create a lasting impression for years to come.
