Glendale, CA – Glendale Public Library presents the newly published book by Vahe and Ara Oshagan Father Land, on Friday, November 12, 2010, at 7 p.m., in the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 East Harvard Street, Glendale. The program will be presented in English and Armenian and will include a slide presentation of photos from the book. Admission is free and the seating is limited. Library visitors receive 3 hours FREE parking across the street at The Market Place parking structure with validation at the loan desk.

 

Father Land is a poetic and personal journey through the rugged, human and history laden landscape of Karabagh/Armenia: a unique collaboration between a photographer son and his well-known, writer/late father. A family steeped in Armenian literature and art, Vahé and Ara Oshagan's work is the result of an intensely felt connection to their heritage and homeland. Father Land is a literary and visual contemplation of Karabagh's present day, its history and its culture, as well as a meditation on transnational identity, land, and paternal bonds.

 

 

Ara Oshagan is a photographer whose work revolves around the intersecting themes of identity, community, and memory. His work is in the permanent collection of the Southeast Museum of Photography, Florida; the Downey Museum of Art, California; and the Museum of Modern Art in Armenia.
