Summary Exhibition
On August 23, 2024, the Armenian Cultural Center of Hungary hosted the opening of the summary exhibition. The exhibition was dedicated to the “Parajanov 100” collage project created during the “Armenian Youth Camp 2024” in Hungary and to the works produced during the sculpture courses that lasted for more than five months at the cultural center.
During the camp, a master class on collage-making was held, where participants worked in groups. The workshop presented the activities of the renowned Armenian filmmaker, screenwriter, and artist Sergey Parajanov, as well as his collages. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth.
The exhibition also had an interactive component, during which another collage was created and added alongside the presented works.
The pottery class was conducted by Grigor Murdian. The camp programs were led by Grigor Murdian and Suzanna Hakobyan. The projects were carried out at the Armenian Cultural Foundation of Hungary as part of the ESC volunteer program activities.
