Fresno State to host photo exhibition on Armenian genocide
By Rory Appleton
Fresno State will open an exhibition on April 10 featuring newly
released photos taken during the Armenian genocide and subsequent
years.
The photo collection, titled "Iconic Images of the Armenian Genocide,"
will be shown on the second floor of the Henry Madden Library on
campus. The exhibit will be open from April 10 to May 29.
April 24 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the genocide. By
its end in 1923, an estimated 1.5 million Armenians -- two-thirds of
the population -- were dead, many children left orphans.
A reception will be held on the second floor of the library from 6 to
8 p.m. on April 10. Organizers request that reception attendees RSVP.
The exhibit was organized by the Armenian Studies Program at Fresno
State and will also include other collections of art and photographs.
A separate exhibit featuring photos from the collection of Richard and
Anne Elbrecht, "Churches of Historic Armenia: A Legacy to the World,"
will be displayed during the same time period on the third floor of
the library.
For more information about the exhibit and other events related to the
100th anniversary, call the Armenian Studies Program at (559) 278-2669
or visit www.fresnostate.edu/armenianstudies.
