Reflective Affinities: Armenian Art in the Diaspora

The evolution of modern Armenian art owes much to the development of the Armenian diaspora since the 18th century. In recent decades, new waves of migration from Armenia have brought fresh creative forces to these long-established diasporan communities with many established and young artists of Armenian origin now living and working across Europe and the rest of the world. Featuring practitioners from different generations, this panel discussion looks at how these artists continue to negotiate their creative and cultural affinities with the increasingly globalised environment of contemporary art while remaining linked with the framework of Armenian art.
