Nazik Armenakyan is an award-winning photojournalist based out of Armenia. Her photo project “Survivors”, featured in this issue, was first exhibited on April 24, 2009 at the Artists’ House in Yerevan. Since then, she has displayed her gripping photos of Genocide survivors in exhibits within Armenia and online, with ArmeniaNow.
In her words, “this project is another reminder, another call for justice.” In the hands of the survivors are pictures from their past, serving as one end of a string tying them to their past. And on the other end of the string, they are tied to one another, to the destiny of their people–to each of us.
Armenakyan is currently working on a photo book of these survivor photos she has taken and is looking for curators interested in bringing these images to galleries throughout the Diaspora. If you would like to contact Mrs. Armenakyan or find out how you can help bring her “Survivors” exhibit to a gallery near you, please reach out to her at nazik_arm@yahoo.com.
