To commemorate the launch of the exhibition Tell Our Stories: Artifacts from the Assyrian Genocide, The University Gallery is pleased to host an opening program featuring discussions from scholars and community members on the Assyrian genocide era and the Assyrian diaspora.
Using personal narratives and historical artifacts, this exhibition explores the Assyrian Genocide era - roughly 1895 through 1924 in the Ottoman Empire and Persia - and the subsequent experience of Assyrian resettlement in the US. The exhibition tells the stories of the survivors whose photos we see: survivors who lost families, endured unspeakable hardship and built a future for their families. It also features several paintings by contemporary Assyrian artists reflecting on the legacy of the genocide and diaspora.
The program will include presentations, speakers, and talks, along with an exhibition tour in the University Gallery.
The events are Friday, the 1st of July, at 6:30 pm, and Saturday, the 2nd of July, at 1:00 pm in Snider Hall, located inside the Theatre building.
These programs are free and open to the public.
By registering for this event, you agree to adhere to the Stan State Campus Event Protocols.
