Bergen, in cooperation with the College's Center for Peace, Justice
and Reconciliation will host the exhibition titled "Fractured History,
Reconstructing Identity: Degrees of Westernization in Armenian Painting
and Other Mediums.", reports Armenpress citing The Paramus Post. The
exhibit's curator Vicki ShoghagHovanessian is an avid collector of
Western and Armenian art for more than 30 years. The gallery will
open the exhibit with a ceremony on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 from 5 to
8 p.m. The exhibit will remain on display until Thursday, April 26,
2012 in Gallery Bergen in West Hall on the College's main campus
in Paramus.Peter Balakian, an author and scholar, will speak at a
closing gallery ceremony on April 26 at 6 p.m. in Room A-113 in the
Pitkin Education Center. Despite the turbulent historical phases of
Armenia during the first quarter of the twentieth century, followed
by the suppression of Armenian culture's national identity within
the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic that persisted until 1990,
a succinct glimpse at artworks of the past two decades provides
signs of introspection, ambition, innovation, diversity, optimism and
progress within Armenian culture.Founded at Bergen Community College
in 2009, the Center for Peace, Justice and Reconciliation (CPJR)
exists to develop the passion and skills needed to work for peace,
justice, and reconciliation, with a special focus on the Armenian
historical and cultural context.Within the sphere of today's rapidly
changing aesthetic boundaries, this exhibition of Hovanessian's pays a
long-standing and essential tribute to the accomplishments of a group
of Armenian artists whose fractured history and reconstructed identity
remains to be universally assessed and culturally recognized.Bergen
Community College (www.bergen.edu ) based in Paramus is a public
two-year coeducational college, enrolling more than 17,000 students
at locations in Paramus.
