SUMMARY:Diana Markosian's FATHER
DESCRIPTION:Join Aperture and The Center for Armenian Arts for a conversation between photographer Diana Markosian and artist Ara Oshagan. They will discuss Markosian’s most recent publication\, Father (Aperture\, 2024)\, an intimate and engrossing diaristic portrayal of estrangement and reconnection\, recounted through documentary photographs\, family snapshots\, text\, and visual ephemera.  \nDiana Markosian: Father presents the Armenian photographer’s journey to another place and another time\, where she attempts to piece together an image of a familiar stranger—her long-lost father. The book explores her father’s absence\, her reconciliation with him\, and the shared emptiness of their prolonged estrangement after a separation during Markosian’s childhood. The images\, made over the course of a decade\, take place in her father’s home in Armenia. Father follows her first monograph\, Santa Barbara (Aperture\, 2020)\, in which Markosian recreates the story of her family’s journey from post–Soviet Russia to the US in the 1990s.  \n––  \nDiana Markosian (born in Moscow\, 1989) is among the leaders of a new generation of photographers and lens-based artists advancing documentary storytelling through image-making. In 1996\, she moved to the US from Russia with her brother and mother\, leaving behind her father\, who would eventually relocate back to the family’s home country of Armenia. Her photographs have been published in Vanity Fair\, Vogue\, and the New Yorker. Her work is represented by Galerie les filles du calvaire\, Paris. The artist’s acclaimed first monograph\, Santa Barbara (Aperture\, 2020)\, was selected as one of the top books of the year by Time and the Museum of Modern Art Magazine. She holds an MS from Columbia University in New York.  \nAra Oshagan (born in Beirut) is a multidisciplinary artist\, curator\, and cultural worker who explores histories of marginalization\, displacement\, and identity. A descendant of communities uprooted from their indigenous land by the Armenian Genocide\, he was born in Lebanon and displaced by war as a youth to the US. Oshagan has published four monographs and has exhibited his artwork internationally. His work has been featured in the LA Times\, NPR’s Morning Edition\, and Hyperallergic. His work is in the permanent collection of the Craft Contemporary Museum\, Southeast Museum of Photography\, Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts\, and Modern Art Museum of Yerevan. \nTuesday\, February 25 at 7:00 pm PST
