In this episode, we speak with Amy Fagin, the author and project lead of Beyond Genocide; members of the Beyond Genocide Arts Award Advisory Council—Bjorn Krondorfer, Alexis Herr, and Sabah Carrim—as well as Linda Paganelli, the 2024–2025 award recipient. The conversation examines the Beyond Genocide arts award and exhibition, focusing on artistic responsibility, ethical representation, jury perspectives, and how art engages audiences with histories of mass violence beyond the exhibition space.
