My Relic

She Loves Collective invites the general public to view its most recent work, three pop-up exhibits from April 11th-April 25th located at 117, 123, &127 N. Artsakh Ave. in Glendale, California. 

MY RELIC is a contemporary view on the Armenian culture, the trials and tribulations of the Armenian people, their ability to survive and thrive amongst adversaries- through the lens of Armenian female artists.

Each of the three pop- up exhibits explores the ability to heal, move forward, and grow through a variety of themes broadly construed as “relics”. Translating this concept from the lexicon of the sacred and historical, relics are also non-static objects, ever-living, that narrate and construct our subjectivities anew. In each installation relics are considered through the concept of breaking bread, the collection of items passed down through generations, and reclamation.

She Loves Collective dedicates this work to the Armenian people of Artsakh- in honor of the soldiers who lost their lives, the families who lost their homes and right to exist on their ancestral homelands, and over 100 prisoners of war held captive by Azerbaijan today.

We are with you. You are in our hearts.
