SUMMARY:Hybrid Event: Curators in Conversation: Genocidal Captivity\, Rebecca Jinks with Christine Schmidt
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Genocidal Captivity exhibition events series. Participants can register to attend in person or online. \nJoin Dr Becky Jinks\, in conversation with Dr Christine Schmidt\, curators of the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership’s latest exhibition\, Genocidal Captivity: Retelling the Stories of Armenian and Yezidi Women\, to learn more about how they developed the exhibition and their curatorial choices. The discussion will include an overview of Dr Jinks’ research project\, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council\, to analyse the experiences of Armenian and Yezidi women survivors in 1915 and 2014\, as well as reflections on challenges and choices they made in presenting this research as an exhibition. \nAbout the Speakers \nDr Rebecca Jinks is a historian of comparative genocide and humanitarianism at Royal Holloway\, University of London. She is the author of Representing Genocide: The Holocaust as Paradigm?\, which examines the ways in which representations of the Holocaust have influenced how other genocides are understood and represented\, focusing on the ‘canonical’ cases of genocide – Armenia\, Cambodia\, Bosnia\, and Rwanda. Her current research project\, ‘Genocidal Captivity’\, is funded by the AHRC and explores the experiences of Armenian and Yezidi women genocide survivors in 1915 and 2014. \nDr Christine Schmidt is the Deputy Director and Head of Research at The Wiener Holocaust Library. Her research has focused on postwar tracing and documentation efforts\, the concentration camp system in Nazi Germany\, and comparative studies of collaboration\, rescue and resistance in France and Hungary.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Exhibition Talk: Sinjar Destroyed: Photographs and stories of the aftermath of ISIS genocide in northern Iraq
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Genocidal Captivity exhibition events series. \nAlmost a decade since the so-called Islamic State committed genocide against the Yezidi population of Iraq\, thousands of displaced Yezidis remain in crowded camps dotted across the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. With little to no hope of returning to their destroyed homeland of Sinjar\, those in the camps face increasingly limited access to resources\, education\, and healthcare\, while their struggle continues to obtain justice and accountability for the crimes committed against them. \nSince December 2016\, photojournalist Claire Thomas has been covering stories related to the devastation ISIS wrought in northern Iraq\, the human cost of the conflict to defeat the terror group\, and the genocide and mass displacement of the Yezidi population. Her work also explores the challenges Yezidis face in returning to Sinjar\, from the physical destruction of their homes and communities to the perceived threat from ISIS-affiliated families living in Sinjar. \nIn this talk\, Claire will share a selection of her most impactful images from Iraq and discuss some of the stories of the women\, men\, and children she’s met and photographed since 2016. She will highlight the challenges of documenting survivors’ stories and covering sensitive issues with the understanding and empathy needed to preserve the dignity of those sharing such harrowing experiences. \nAbout the Speaker \nClaire Thomas is an acclaimed photojournalist and fine art photographer from Wales\, currently based between the UK and Egypt. Her focus on photojournalism spans critical subjects such as political and military conflicts\, human rights\, and humanitarian and environmental crises. From refugee camps in Europe to the frontlines against ISIS in Iraq\, Claire has contributed impactful photo essays to leading global newspapers\, magazines\, and news agencies. \nHer work earned recognition at the 2023 Amnesty International UK Media Awards for its profound impact\, specifically for coverage in northeast Syria. Claire’s photography has garnered accolades\, including UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards\, Press Gazette British Journalism Awards for Photojournalist of the Year\, and inclusion in Women Photograph’s 2019 Year in Pictures. Claire has also served as a judge for various international photography competitions. \n \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
