The Voice to Vision collaborative project captures the extraordinary experiences of genocide survivors from different parts of the world. The stories of the survivors are first shared through dialogue, and then transformed into works of visual art that display painting, drawing, collage, and mixed media. Each art piece has been created through collaboration with a team of artists and genocide survivors. As the survivors share their experiences, members of the collaborative team exchange ideas and make creative decisions together to produce a work of art that reflects the convergence of each voice involved in the project. The collaboration process is video-documented and edited so that various communities and generations can experience it. The documentaries feature original scores that have been composed by collaborating musicians to reflect the survivor’s stories and sequence the video timeline. It is the goal of the Voice to Vision project to inspire others to use the tools of dialogue and the visual arts to investigate, recover, and protect their own indigenous narrative and emotional experiences. The art pieces and the video documentaries can connect audiences to some very life changing moments in history and stimulate discussion and education at public showings, in classrooms, and in family settings. Founder, Professor David Feinberg and co-Directors Beth Andrews and J. Wren Supak lead this project. It is developed through the collaboration of an interdisciplinary visual research team that includes participants from the Department of Art and the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, as well as participants from the surrounding Twin Cities communities.

Storytellers work with artists to create works of art that express their memories; the result sometimes painful, often poignant, and always profound. Voice to Vision is directed by David Feinberg in cooperation with the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota.
