On the occasion of the hundredth year following the Armenian Genocide,
the country's ministry of culture will be devoting its pavilion to
the artists of the Armenian diaspora.
Eighteen artists in total will be featured: Haig Aivazian (Lebanon),
Nigol Bezjian (Syria/USA), Anna Boghiguian (Egypt/Canada),
Hera BuyuktaÅ~_cıyan (Turkey), Silvina Der-Meguerditchian
(Argentina/Germany), Rene Gabri & Ayreen Anastas (Iran/Palestine/USA),
Mekhitar Garabedian (Belgium), Aikaterini Gegisian (Greece), Yervant
Gianikian & Angela Ricci Lucchi (Italy), Aram Jibilian (USA), Nina
Katchadourian (USA/Finland), Melik Ohanian (France), Mikayel Ohanjanyan
(Armenia/Italy), Rosana Palazyan (Brasil), Sarkis (Turkey/France),
and Hrair Sarkissian (Syria/UK).
Curated by Adelina Cuberyan von Furstenberg, the pavilion will explore
what she's calling the notion of "armenity," which in her words
encapsulates concepts of "displacement and territory, justice and
reconciliation, ethos and resilience." The pavilion will be situated
on the Island of San Lazzaro.
