About the Guest Curators
Lilit Sargsyan is one of Armenia’s leading art critics based in Yerevan. Her work focuses on the history of Armenian modern and contemporary art within the broader context of the socio-political history of the U.S.S.R. in the post-Stalin era.
Armen Yesayants is a Yerevan-based curator, art historian and cultural manager. He currently serves as Director of Exhibitions at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, where he has curated and co-organized nearly 50 exhibitions. His curatorial practice spans both Armenian and international contexts, with a focus on modern and contemporary art, post-Soviet visual culture, and the intersections of ideology, identity and memory.
This exhibition is made possible by the leadership support of the Avenir Foundation Endowment Fund, with additional support from the Dodge Charitable Trust – Nancy Ruyle Dodge, Trustee.
Generous support for bilingual text was provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
Special thanks to the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) for their informational sponsorship of this exhibition.
