Thank you to all who attended the opening reception of "Ara Oshagan: Disrupted, Borders." It was a full house with over 150 art and photography lovers in attendance. “A lot of my work connects to things in the Museum collection (i.e., illuminated manuscripts and hmayil prayer scrolls). To have ancient manuscripts and reflect on them in a contemporary space is very special,” Oshagan told the audience.
This exhibition is sponsored by a generous donation from Museum President Michele M. Kolligian in memory of Museum Founder Haig Der Manuelian for his dedication and foresight in sharing Armenia’s rich history and culture with the world, including an impressive collection of Armenian Manuscripts that he gifted to the Museum.
"Disrupted, Borders," curated by Ryann Casey, is now on view in the Adele and Haig Der Manuelian Galleries through October 29, 2023.
