The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute has received a donation from Lebanese-Armenian artist Jacqueline Ohanian: her 2024 painting “From Ashes to Memory”.
The artist personally traveled from Beirut to Yerevan to present the work. Ohanyan has held numerous solo exhibitions in the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon, and has participated in various international biennales.
She also donated a graphic work by Lebanese-Armenian artist Jean Guvderelyan (Guvder, 1923–2016), titled Gray Family (2004).
Both Jacqueline Ohanian and Guvder are descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors.
According to Guvder’s niece, Houri Garadjirjian, the future artist was born aboard a ship traveling from Mersin (Cilicia) to Beirut during the migration.
