An exhibition that celebrates the life and work of Serj Tankian—musician, visual artist, poet, composer, activist, and outspoken advocate for human rights. Inspired by his 2024 memoir Down with the System, and Tankian’s ongoing exploration of the intersection of sound, image, and poetry, The Art of Disruption “invites not just observation, but participation.”

Curated by Ryann Casey. Sponsored by the Alan K. & Isabelle DerKazarian Foundation.
