The Palestinian Museum has published an activity booklet for children, based on Sato Moughalian’s book, Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian.
The colouring and discovery book features many ceramic artworks made by the Armenian ceramicist, David Ohannessian (1884-1953) during his years in Jerusalem. The book invites the children to draw connections between Ohannessian’s childhood in Mouradchai, Turkey and the works it would inspire in his career years later. It includes colouring activities as well as suggestions for children to ponder assorted questions.
In September 2019, the Palestinian Museum hosted the launch of Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian, featuring its author Sato Moughalian. Launch events were held at the Museum in Birzeit, in Jerusalem (in collaboration with Educational Bookshop) and in Haifa (in collaboration with the Arab Culture Association). Feast of Ashes was longlisted for the prestigious PEN America Literary Award.
