Description

A new exhibition at the Art Ark Gallery, "Diaspora in Bloom: Assyrians in the 20th Century & Beyond," illuminates the contemporary experience of an ethnic group with roots stretching back to the so-called "Cradle of Civilization." At its peak, the Assyrian Empire included territory in what is now northern Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Iran. Two Assyrian-Americans curated this show to demonstrate how their personal heritage has shaped them as individuals and artists. The show features work by Atra Givarkes, Esther Elia and Rabel Betshmuel--all of whom are of Assyrian descent. Runs Friday from 6pm-9pm and Saturday from noon-4pm.
