Photographer Ara Oshagan and author Krikor Beledian grew up in Beirut's Armenian communities formed by refugees and survivors of genocide. They came of age in families and neighborhoods fraught with the collective memory of extreme violence and dispossession. Both left Beirut decades ago and now return to immerse themselves in its fractured urbanscape: Oshagan with dark and lyrical photographs and Beledian with a poetic semi-autobiographical essay drawn from his youth. Set in Beirut's dense Armenian neighborhoods of Bourj Hammoud, displaced brings these two symbiotic and deeply personal works together: a unique collaboration interrogating diaspora memory, multi-generational displacement, and the ambiguities of narrative.
