Diaspora In Bloom: Assyrians in the 20th Century & Beyond

Gallery Hours: June 1, 7, 8 & 14: 6pm-9pm and June  2,9 & 15 noon-4pm
Artists: Atra Givarkes, Esther Elia, Rabel Betshmuel
Curators: Akadina Yadegar, Nardin Sarkis

Focusing on the Assyrian experience, over 30 works of art will be assembled in a variety of media including - photography, painting, video, posters, and graphic design. The exhibition offers a fresh approach to understanding this ancient culture and addresses universal themes of identity, community, diaspora, and cultural continuity. 


The show title references an Assyrian idiom, “Spring does not occur with one flower alone.” In other words: a movement does not occur with just one person - it takes a field of flowers to bloom in order for Spring to arrive. Diaspora in Bloom brings together the works of a nation that has been scattered around the globe, and has still found a way to blossom into a movement.

The goal of the show is to take a step forward, highlight the present over the ancient, and celebrate contemporary Assyrian artists whose work developed out of a significant and difficult history.
