For its receiver, genocide art, with all its capacity to arouse our emotions and empathy, transmits something that we cannot see or engage within the factual reporting of genocide or in a political analysis of the topic. Through art, it is possible to encounter genocide at an individual, personal level. As Moödersheim points out, we seem to need symbolic expressions to help us understand, and deal with the complex nature of events so horrific that reason and emotion fail to grasp their magnitude. to the intellect, many aspects of these experiences are unfathomable, and yet to keep our humanity we need to understand them... where words and explanations fail, we look for images. (Mödersheim, From the M/C Journal "Transmitting Genocide: Genocide and Art")
