Our Armenian Journey, Project SAVE Armenian Photograph Archives 2018

calendar

Stories of refugees fleeing their homes have dominated headlines recently, with many from

cities like Aleppo that are familiar to Armenians. Project SAVE, perceiving the tragic

similarities to events of a century ago, seeks to share the narratives of Armenians’ journeys

from our own archives, illuminated with multiple photos. The selected images illustrate

Armenian immigrants’ and refugees’ struggles and accomplishments as they assimilate and

contribute to their adopted societies, while maintaining their identity.

In our 2018 calendar, Our Armenian Journey, we pay special tribute to those who face

hardships, separations, and reunions during their journey. We celebrate their resilience,

tenacity, and ability to build a life in a new land.

Graphic Artist Vartus Varadian has designed the calendar in a way that invites you to

investigate what the photographs represent.
