Art & The Armenian Genocide
The Free Articulator carries an entry by Marie Ourganjian on the impact of the Armenian Genocide on art in the Diaspora. As a creative artist, the author of the post also offers her favorite examples of such work as well as one of her own poems on the 1915 massacres and deportations
The survivors of the genocide ended up all over the world, thus creating the Armenian diaspora. As an Armenian-American I grew up hearing about the genocide, just as every other Armenian-American did. As a Creative Artist, the works of Armenian creative artists which deal with the genocide and its implications for the survivors and their descendants are powerful. I offer up the following list of my favorite of those works, plus a poem of my own, as a tribute to both the victims and survivors of the Armenian genocide.
