On July 27, at 16:00, Tumo proudly invites you to the opening of a group exhibition featuring original visual compositions by students in three of our premier summer design and communication workshops.

Exploratory Form

On display will be computer modules featuring unique digital renderings and podiums showcasing physical 3D models created by participants in Narineh Mirzaeian’s Exploratory Form design workshop. Actual live 3D printing of the models created by students will also take place for viewers to observe the cutting-edge production first-hand.

Objects That Tell Stories

The final component of the exhibit will feature video projections and glass case installations of objects collected by students depicting the rich history of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Having worked with artist Silvina Der-Meguerditchian and historians Vahe Tachjian and Elke Hartmann—directors of the web-based project Houshamadyan—students will visually present the captivating collection of oral histories, memory items, and primary stories they gathered in regards to Ottoman Armenian life.

Object Photography

Hacob Khodaverdian’s creative photography and object storytelling workshop will also be represented with a multi-platform display of over 15 student photographs. The exhibit will be a cumulative display of the creative photography, lighting, composition, post production, and digital techniques explored by the students in the workshop led by the award-winning photographer.
