Photographer Michelle Andonian traveled to the historic land of the Armenians to chase the ghosts of her ancestors. Her grandmother was a survivor of the Armenian genocide in 1915, the first genocide of the 20th century. Retracing her grandmother’s path, Andonian discovered the churches and homes that Armenians were forced to leave over 100 years ago. She eventually arrived in the now landlocked country that remains, proudly, Armenia. However, this small nation is a shadow of the former glory of the Armenian Empire.

Andonian has traveled to Armenia on several occasions, and her most recent trip in summer 2019 was supported in part by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in service of this exhibition. The newest works from the series have been acquired by FWMoA and are now part of the museum’s permanent collection.

This exhibition is sponsored by Tazian Enterprises in Honor of Naomi Tazian, and numerous donors through the 2019 FWMoA Annual Fund. This exhibition is curated by Lauren Wolfer of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. This film was produced by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and Zero Seven Films.

"Hope Dies Last: The New Armenia - Photographs by Michelle Andonian" was on display at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art from March 14 - September 27, 2020.
