Photography and poetry converge in "Remain in Light," a portrait of Armenian identity in motion

Photography and Poetry Convergence

"Remain in Light" is a portrait of Armenian identity in motion, where photography and poetry converge.

This collection, edited by Gassia Armenian and published by the Fowler Museum at UCLA, visualizes the contemporary Armenian experience in the homeland and in Los Angeles, home to the largest Armenian population in the diaspora.

The first wave of immigrants came to California in the late 1800s, while the second wave was spurred by the Armenian genocide of 1915.

These migrants find solace, pride, and connection in the traditions, customs, religion, language, and memories they brought with them.
