The presentation of Armenian caricaturist Diran Ajemian’s album of caricatures, organized by Lucy Tutunjian Art Gallery of Hamazkayin, took place on Friday, December 15, 2017, at 7:00 pm.
Suzy Derderian delivered the opening speech in the name of the event organizers. In her speech, she noticed that in the post-Genocide period, when the Armenians exiled from their Homeland, came to Syria and Lebanon trying to rebuild their lives, no one expected then that they would not only recover soon, but would reorganize their life individually and at the collective level, and that in the short run, they would succeed in establishing themselves in the political, educational, cultural and other spheres of those countries. Suzy Derderian also said that shortly after the Genocide and deportation, the Armenian spiritual, intellectual and cultural heritage generated new giants that found their worthy place even in the local and Arabian environment. Then she added that Diran Ajemian’s life and creative world verify the above-mentioned.
