Storyline

Coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda (7 April), the United Nations Headquarters in New York opened a new exhibit about the power of post-genocide reconciliation and the potentially deadly impact of hate speech.

The exhibit “Remember. Unite. Renew.” organized by the Department of Global Communications, is the result of an international collaboration with the United Nations system in Rwanda; the Office of the Special Adviser on Genocide Prevention; the Government of Rwanda; Prison Fellowship Rwanda; and Aegis Trust.

At the heart of the exhibit is the story of Laurence Niyonangira, who fled the killings in her community, led by former neighbors.

Through personal narratives and imagery, the exhibit sheds light on the horrors of genocide and the enduring legacy of its trauma.

Visitors are invited to confront the realities of hate speech and the critical role each individual plays in fostering a culture of tolerance and understanding.

The exhibit also features voices of Rwandan community members, who provide insight into the challenges of forgiveness and the ongoing path to reconciliation in post-genocide societies.

The exhibit opens to the public ahead of the 12 April commemorative high-level event that will be held in the United Nations General Assembly Hall to remember the victims of the genocide and honor the survivors and those who tried to stop the 1994 events.
