WATERTOWN, Mass.—On Sept. 19, 2024, the Armenian Museum of America (AMA) in Watertown, Massachusetts welcomed more than 200 members and supporters for the opening of “Filtered Identity,” a solo exhibition by Tigran Tsitoghdzyan curated by Ryann Casey. A handful of guests also came in from the West Coast and New York City for the event. 

Everyone was welcomed by AMA Executive Director Jason Sohigian. Tsitoghdzyan spent a few minutes discussing the two groups of works on exhibit, Mirrors and Self-Isolation. This show includes 13 oil-on-canvas and mixed media works, with many as large as 80 x 80 creating a dramatic effect in the contemporary gallery.
