The lecture will expand on some of the themes of the ongoing exhibition, the Armenian Weekly reports. During the presentation, guests will travel from magical Vienna to the majestic Pontic Mountains to study village governance and explore the making of heroes and martyrs. It will tell about bakers who built multi-storied stone houses while they traveled between two unstable empires. The attendees will discover historic maps in basement archives and arrive at a 100-year later scene with people who dance to bagpipes among the same alpine paths that Khodorchurtsis walked. Gina Hablanian has a B.S. from Tufts University and an M.A. from the Boston University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Her professional experience spans science research, college instruction, and corporate computer management. She is also an exhibited artist and freelance writer.
