"Along the Trails of the Armenian Orphans"
In 2013 Naregatsi Art Institute in collaboration with the Near East Foundation (NEF) and the US Embassy implemented a unique project "Along the Trails of the Armenian Orphans" designed as a series of events which include a Documentary Exhibition featuring rare collection of photographs from the Rockefeller Archive Center of New York, taken by the Near East Relief in the period of 1915- 1929; screenings of documentary films touching upon the issue; and a memorial concert.
They were displayed at the National Gallery of Armenia, our center in Yerevan, and the Terchoonian Home Orphanage in Gyumri.
The book "Along the Trails of the Armenian Orphans" was published in 2013. It is the result of the joint efforts of the Naregatsi Art Institute, U.S. Embassy in Armenia and the Near East Foundation.
Towards the exhibition Naregatsi Art Institute, published an extensive archival photo album, which was donated free of charge to the guests present at the opening of the exhibition.
The 200 photos included in the album illustrate the amazing story of Near East Relief: an American-led humanitarian mission that saved hundreds of thousands of Armenian orphans following the 1915 atrocities in the Ottoman Empire.
