The 4th cultural evening of Hamazkayin "Oshagan" Chapter in Cyprus took place on April 27, 2016. Vardan Tashdjian presented writer Nishan Peshiktashlian in the literary part of the program, and in the artistic part of it Roupen Nahabedian presented painter Edgar Chahine.
After presenting Peshiktashlian's life and works, Vardan Tashdjian turned to the satirical works of the great writer and especially his monumental work "Theatrical Faces" playfully interacting with the audience. Then Laura Meguerditchian and Arto Tavitian read excerpts from Peshiktashlian's works.
Artist Edgar Chahine’s life and work was thoroughly presented by Roupen Nahabedian, which conveyed to the audience his deep respect and love for the artist. Nahabedian not only has thoroughly studied Edgar Chahine's works, but also owns a rich collection of his paintings, and even organized an exhibition in Nicosia last November.
The guests were pleased with the event and enjoyed the speeches of two honorable speakers. At the end of the event they congratulated the Hamazkayin Executive Board for organizing such a useful and nice event.
