The Armenian Genocide Research Program (AGRP) of the Promise Armenian Institute (PAI) at UCLA and the Ararat-Eskijian Museum (AEM) are pleased to announce a new collaborative exhibition and discussion to take place on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT) at the AEM Sheen Chapel, highlighting the visual culture of remembrance surrounding the Armenian Genocide.

AEM Museum Director Marguerite Mangassarian Goschin recently acquired a collection of commemorative posters from Beirut, representing various years and perspectives of remembrance. These rare pieces offer valuable insight into how Armenian communities have memorialized the Genocide across time and geography.

We are now seeking additional visual materials—covering both the pre-1965 and post-1965 periods, from Armenia, the diaspora, or any other context—that commemorate the Armenian Genocide to supplement the exhibition. These materials may include, but are not limited to:

• Commemorative posters
• Flyers and announcements
• Event programs and brochures
• Postcards and stamps
• Photographs (or reproductions) of public commemorations
• Other forms of visual material related to remembrance

The materials will be loaned to the AEM until the conclusion of the exhibition at the end of April.

If you have materials to contribute or wish to learn more about the project, please contact the AEM at eskijian@ararat-eskijian-museum.com and AGRP Program Coordinator Nanor Hartounian at nhartounian@international.ucla.edu.
