Convergence of Photography and Poetry
"Remain in Light" is a portrait of Armenian identity in motion, where photography and poetry converge.
This collection, edited by Gassia Armenian and published by the Fowler Museum at UCLA, visualizes the contemporary Armenian experience in the homeland and in Los Angeles, home to the largest Armenian population in the diaspora.
The Armenian diaspora in California began with the first wave of immigrants in the late 1800s, followed by a second wave spurred by the Armenian genocide of 1915.
- Further migrants came from Soviet Armenia, the Middle East, Iran, and other countries.
- They found solace, pride, and connection in their traditions, customs, religion, language, and memories.
