The Legacy Project
The Legacy Project (a 501(c)3 non-profit organization) was started by Clifford Chanin, who served for ten years as the Associate Director of Arts and Humanities at The Rockefeller Foundation. During his tenure, he encountered numerous artworks from around the world, addressing the absence and losses experienced by societies as a result of past tragedies, including war, genocide, ethnic conflict, and population displacement. The discovery of common themes linking these works of art raised the possibility of creating a new global dialogue based on the common language of society's shared inheritance of loss, or "legacy of absence".
