Members of New York’s Armenian community called on Mayor Eric Adams to break his silence on the Armenian genocide and give it official recognition as mayor on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
Please demand that our elected officials not play with the facts of history and clearly state the Armenian Genocide happened, just like Mayors de Blasio, Bloomberg, Giuliani, and Koch did before him. Honor the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition that asks NYC Mayor Adams to unequivocally recognize the Armenian Genocide after last year's federal indictment that stated that days before the 2022 Remembrance a Turkish official sought assurances that Adams would refrain from making any statements about it.
Congratulations Yannis! Much needed good news.
Wonderful review of a brilliant , poignant, and funny play by Sona Tatoyan at Potrero Stage in San Francisco. Do not miss it! #shadowpuppettheatre #hakawati #Aleppo #ArmenianGenocide
Golden Thread Productions and Hakawati NGO's "Azad (The Rabbit and the Wolf)" has such a complex structure I'm still trying to understand how it all worked, along with direction that seemed to marshal the storytelling capabilities of every corner of the stage. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

It would make a great essay Hrag, but it was also a thoughtful performance piece
Thank you for the shoutout!

I wrote about the current Guerrilla Girls exhibition at Hannah Traore gallery and how they changed the art world. #NYC
The fact that some people are debating whether Greenland should be taken over by the US or continued to be "occupied" by Denmark as if the native Greenlandic Inuit population have nothing to say about it, indicates to what extent some of these folks have not opened a single history book.
Ethiopian depiction of Luke the Evangelist as a scribe. He holds a parchment sheet in the left hand and is dipping his pen in a black inkwell with his right hand. He is dressed in an ochre garment with a white garment above it. Next to him are standing two unnamed figures, one holding a parasol, the other a flywhisk.
In order to succeed, every writer needs two helpers: one to hold the parasol and another to hold the flywhisk

The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco acquired four sculptures looted from Thailand in the 1960s. Instead of making a quiet repatriation, they're using the process to invite discussion of what a museum is for and how it can be used by communities: exhibitions.asianart.org/exhibitions/...
What a great list Jason! Could you please add me? Thanks and it was great seeing you the other day!
