A program entitled, ‘Hearing the Lost Voices: Armenian Writers and the Legacy of the Genocide,’ will take place on Nov. 8, at AMA in Watertown
Armenian writers and intellectuals were among the first victims of the Armenian Genocide in 1915, with such prominent figures as Krikor Zohrab, Daniel Varoujan, Rupen Sevag, and Siamanto arrested on April 24, 1915, and later murdered as part of the Ottoman Empire’s effort to annihilate the Armenians and their culture. Join us to hear leading writers and scholars bring back these lost voices, whose words and works endure to speak to new generations.
The participants in the program will include Eric Bogosian reading Siamanto; Dr. Gerard J. Libaridian reading Daniel Varoujan; Dr. Marian Mesrobian MacCurdy reading Zabel Yessayan; Dr. Herand Markarian reading Roupen Sevag; Dr. James R. Russell reading Misak Medzarents; and Danila Terpanjian and Judy Saryan reading Zabel Yessayan.
