Demonstrates the power of art in the service of healing Healing
from Genocide in Rwanda demonstrates the power of art in the
service of healing, and is a testimony to responsive community
process in a highly sensitive environment. The work immerses
readers in the stories of two Rwandans who as small children
experienced the 1994 Genocide. It tells of the horrific tragedy
each survived, the courage necessary for surviving, and the
humanity they embody. Their stories are framed by two chapters
chronicling the transformation, in the Rugerero Survivors' Village,
of a concrete burial slab into a powerful Genocide Memorial with
its bone chamber, designed by artist Lily Yeh and built by the
villagers. The book is not limited to the literature of the 1994
Rwandan Genocide, but belongs to the world as part of the
collective human experience. It evokes its world through images
(photographs, drawings, paintings, pattern, and color) as well as
words. The text itself is visually choreographed. The work draws
from Lily Yeh's multifaceted Rwandan Healing Project under the
auspices of Barefoot Artists, a project that included, among other
things, drawing and storytelling workshops. Susan Viguers conceived
and designed the book, incorporating drawings and paintings by Lily
Yeh.
