Before, After: Reflections on Armenian Genocide Opens at ReflectSpace  Gallery

ArmInfo. Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and ReflectSpace Gallery are pleased to present Before, After: Reflections on the Armenian Genocide.  

Before, After: Reflections on the Armenian Genocide traces  generations of Armenian resiliency through the common thread of loss  and survival. The exhibition examines the connections passed down  through blood, migration and history; from genocide to diaspora to  belonging. Before, After integrates artifact with abstraction,  witness accounts with recreation, old materials repurposed, and new  molds made. The Armenian experience (both past and present, before  and after) is showcased through a range of mediums and practices,  reflecting the repeating patterns of grief, healing and reflection. 

Before, After: Reflections on the Armenian Genocide includes artworks  by nine artists: John Avakian, Anush Babajanyan, Silvina  Der-Meguerditchian, Diana Markosian, Jacqueline Kazarian, Talin  Megherian, Marsha Nouritza Odabashian, Jessica Sperandio, and Scout  Tufankjian. 

Before, After will be on view from April 20 through July 7, 2024, at  ReflectSpace Gallery, inside Glendale Central Library located at 222  East Harvard, Glendale, CA. An opening reception will be held on  Saturday, April 20, 2024, from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. 3 Hours of free  parking is available with validation at the Market Place Parking  Structure located directly across from the library entrance at 120  Artsakh Ave, Glendale, CA.
