Part 3 of “Kiss the Ground — A New Armenia” exhibition is being held in Boston suburbs, Massachusetts, being the culmination of a series of exhibitions marking the centennial of the Armenian Genocide.

This group show is at the Cambridge School of Weston’s Thompson Gallery, while the first two were at the Armenian Library and Museum of America, in Watertown, The Boston Globe writes.  

The exhibition, curated by the gallery director, will be held till June 13.  

The works of the contemporary artists show the consequences of twofold trauma: the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians by forces of the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1922, and the Turkish government’s continued refusal to acknowledge that a genocide occurred. The exhibits are sometimes furious, sometimes thoughtful and tender, sometimes clumsy.

In all its colors, the exhibition reflects the experience of surviving trauma.

These contemporary artists grew up in households where parents or grandparents told them about the genocide — or didn’t talk about it at all.
