Seeds of Hate and Hope brings together artists including Mona Hatoum, William Kentridge, Zoran Mušič, Peter Oloya, Kimberly Fulton Orozco, and Indrė Šerpytytė to reflect on how individuals have witnessed, endured, and responded to mass atrocities — from genocide and ethnic cleansing to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Rather than depicting violence directly, the exhibition presents works shaped by personal histories and shared memory, offering space for grief, resistance, and healing.

By highlighting artistic responses across the 20th and 21st centuries, Seeds of Hate and Hope underscores art’s capacity to confront the legacies of conflict and to challenge the simplistic narratives often found in media imagery. The works on view point to the ways resilience and solidarity can take root even in moments of profound rupture, emphasizing empathy and human dignity as essential forces against prejudice, dehumanization, and hate.
