Exhibition of Silent Screams

The Emerald Hills Institute is pleased to invite you to an unforgettable experience as we observe and learn about the untold stories of those who have faced hardship and injustice. The event is co-sponsored by the Tanner Center for Human Rights. The event will begin with a screening of The Other Children Documentary, which highlights the difficult journey faced by thirteen children who had to endure their pain in silence in Turkiye. This will be followed by a panel discussion and interactive sessions on human rights violations and their lasting effects on the victims and the community at large. The evening will conclude with the Exhibition of Silent Screams featuring the memories of hundreds of people from all walks of life who have faced oppression and marginalization.

This event is made possible in partnership with Silenced Turkey, the United Nations Association of Utah, Emerald Hills Institute, the USU Departments of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice, Mountain West Center for Regional Studies, Center for Community, Heravi Peace Institute, and the Cache Refugee and Immigrant Connection. We are grateful for their support and collaboration.
