Ara Oshagan's photography traces the displacement, resilience and outlook of the Armenian diaspora 📸

The Armenian Studies Program celebrates the start of its 50th year with a photography exhibition featuring the work of Ara Oshagan, multi-disciplinary artist, curator and cultural worker.

ℹ️ EXHIBITION INFORMATION
