Hrant Nakashian: A Photographer in Gaza
Oct17Sat, October 1717:30
National Gallery of Armenia1 Arami poghots, Yerevan 0010, ArmeniaTranslated
The first exhibition in Armenia dedicated to the work of Palestinian-Armenian photographer Hrant Nakashian (1921–1991). Nakashian’s photographs hold an exceptional place in the history of Arab and Armenian photography as unique documentation of Palestinian life in Gaza during the 1950s and 1960s. A survivor of the Armenian Genocide, Nakashian grew up in Lebanon and moved to Jaffa in 1942, where he established his first photo studio. Displaced again after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, he settled in Gaza and opened the Hrand photo studio in the early 1950s. Collaborating with international organizations, including UNRWA and UNEF, he produced hundreds of photographs documenting the social, cultural, and economic life of Palestinian refugee communities.
