With author Sato Moughalian

Tuesday, 27 August, 19:30-21:00
Place: the Arab Culture Association, Haifa

The Palestinian Museum will hold a launch event and discussion of Armenian-American researcher Sato Moughalian’s book Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian, hosted by the Arab Culture Association, Haifa. In her book, Moughalian explores the life and art of her grandfather, David Ohannessian, who owned and led Jerusalem’s “Dome of the Rock Tiles” workshop in Palestine from 1919 until 1948. She tells the story of the founding of the art of Armenian ceramics in the city, tracing Ohannessian’s steps from the historic Ottoman ceramics center of Kütahya to his arrival and career in Jerusalem through his artistic work in the churches, on the walls of the Old City, and elsewhere.

The talk will be in English with availability of interpretation.
