ART and CAKE

MY RELIC offers an immersive and contemporary view of Armenian culture, people, and adversities. Created by the She Loves Collective and the Armenian female artists who make up the collective’s membership, the exhibition is an impressive series of three pop-up exhibitions in Glendale storefronts.

Each of the three installations examines healing, history – both personal and cultural, and conceptual practices such as sharing food, collecting heirlooms, and staking claim to the past and the future of both the artists’ families and culture alike. The exhibition is dedicated to the Armenian people of Artsakh, from soldiers lost to families who lost homes and homeland, and prisoners of war still captive today. Curated by collective founder Adrineh Baghdassarian and produced by Ani Nina Oganyan, the full list of contributing She Loves Collective artists, volunteers, and exhibitor thanks, follows at the end of this article, as provided by Baghdassarian.  READ MORE
