"This unique event is something that will help to mold Culture Project's future. Working on groundbreaking collaborations like these with The United Nations is what our organization is about: focusing on a call to action while creating work for the world stage. This particular event has great importance as it allows us to commemorate the spirit of strength and resilience that led to the end of one of the most dire crimes against humanity," Culture Project artistic director Alan Buchman said in a statement.
