“This project marks the beginning to create a more hopeful tomorrow.… I want my people to bury the past and start over. I seek to remove the clash of civilizations from the dictionary of our lives. I seek to build a future that is based on our hopes rather than our fears and apprehensions.” “IARP offers a wider spectrum of discourse about the effects of war on the human condition. It presents real stories by real people who have been directly affected by forces much larger than themselves, in many ways acting beyond their control. The challenge for IARP is to make these perspectives accessible to the public, no easy task, but one IARP should be commended for in terms of how far it has been able to run with it. I would love to see it go further.” - Attendee at an IARP art exhibit
