An exploration of David Ohannessian’s artworks in Jerusalem
With author Sato Moughalian and Dr Adila Laïdi-Hanieh

In partnership with the Educational Bookshop, Jerusalem
Monday, 26 August, 18:30–20:30
Place: American Colony Hotel, Jerusalem

The Palestinian Museum will host the launch of Armenian-American researcher Sato Moughalian’s book Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian. 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. The book tells the story of the founding of the art of Armenian ceramics in the city, tracing Ohannessian’s steps through his artistic work in churches, houses, in the American Colony complex itself, on the walls of the Old City, and elsewhere.

The talk will be in English with availability of interpretation.
