“Armenia–Diaspora” Permanent Exhibition
This project, initiated by Sonia Balassanian, brings together contemporary artists from Armenia and the Armenian diaspora, creating a platform for dialogue and exchange.
This exhibition focuses on the theme ‘In the Contexts of Memory,’ exploring memory as a multilayered and dynamic process shaped by social, spatial, political, and cultural environments. In the presented works, memory is revealed at the intersection of individual and collective experiences, interwoven with migration, diasporic existence, loss, and ongoing reinterpretation.
