The Initiative in Holocaust, Genocide, Memory Studies’ Annual Armenian Remembrance Event. We are thrilled that this year’s visitors are Ara Oshagan and Levon Parian, the brilliant photographers behind the moving iWitness project which has brought stunning images of survivors of the Armenian genocide to many sites as large scale installations and smaller, more intimate connections. HGMS has organized two exhibits and a talk: several large images will be on view after March 5th at the Siebel center for design. From April 10-May 31 an exhibit of smaller images and remembrances will be on display at the beautiful Art Gallery inside the Illini Union. On April 24th at 5pm, Oshagan and Parian will be in conversation (moderated by HGMS director Brett Ashley Kaplan) at the Starlight Room of the Siebel Center. On April 25th at 4pm there will be a reception at the Illini Union Art Gallery.
