The Silence and Visuality Seminar Series on Armenian Art & History
PAST EVENT | 16 February 2023 17:00 - 16 February 2023 18:00
Juliana Pars on "The Sound in Silence"
This talk will explore silence – and its interaction with visuality – as a mechanism for expression, dissidence and transcendence in Sergei Parajanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates, also looking at the art of Seeroon Yeretzian and Krikor Momdjian.
Juliana Pars (D.Phil, Oxon) is a DPhil candidate at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. She specialises in Armenology, with her research focusing on how different aspects of traditional Armenian visual and material culture are engaged with, utilised and reinterpreted by Modern and Contemporary artists. Juliana has an MSt in Classical Armenian from Oxford, an MA in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute and a BA in Theology from Cambridge University.
This is part of the Silence and Visuality Seminar Series on Armenian Art & History which present current research by emerging and established scholars, and conversations with distinguished contemporary artists.
Seminar Conveners are Dr Suzan Meryem Rosita Kalaycı, Director of the Oxford Network for Armenian Genocide Research, and Dr Vazken Khatchig Davidian.
This new seminar series is part of a growing programme in Armenian Studies under the aegis of Professor Theo Maarten van Lint, Calouste Gulbenkian Professor of Armenian Studies, and is one of the activities of the Oxford Network for Armenian Genocide Research which was launched at Pembroke College in 2020.
Talks finish by 5.50pm to allow those with other commitments to leave, and are then followed by discussion and refreshments.
