Opening reception for “LIVE BY LOVING” by Zaven Khachikyan

About the Event

Join us for the Opening Reception of “Live by Loving”, an exhibition by Armenian artist Zaven Khachikyan, whose work explores compassion, resilience, and the power of empathy in times of displacement.

Through an evocative blend of photography and fabric, Khachikyan reflects on the lives of families displaced from Artsakh after the 2020 war. Each piece intertwines the intimacy of personal archives, family photographs, fragments of carpets, and traces of domestic life, with artistic reinterpretation, inviting visitors to witness the endurance of humanity amid loss.

“Live by Loving” reminds us that even within fractured homes, love and warmth endure. The artist calls upon us to take part in this act of empathy, to live by loving.

Opening Reception: Sunday, November 16, 2025
