Parian will lead a guided tour of the exhibit on Tues., March 24. It’s a one-week exhibit by Ara Oshagan and Levon Parian. Hosted by State Representative Jonathan Hecht (Middlesex 29) and sponsored by the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) and the Armenian National Committee (ANC) of Massachusetts, “iwitness” is the work of Los Angeles-based photographers Ara Oshagan and Levon Parian. The exhibit pairs powerful black-and-white portraits of Armenian Genocide survivors with their oral histories. Oshagan and Parian worked with a team of oral historians and created “iwitness” as part of “The Genocide Project,” which aims to raise awareness about the genocide through visual and oral documentation.
