Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University debuted their documentary series SURVIVE, THRIVE, REMEMBER about the local Armenian community in Western New York on Sunday, April 24, the Armenian Film Society informs.
The documentary series looks at both memories and stories from its historical peak in mid-20th century to contemporary expressions of Armenian cultural heritage. The episodes each focus on a different tradition practiced locally, such as carpentry, cooking, traditional dance, and stories from members of the local Armenian community in the Buffalo-Niagara region.
The museum plans on adding to the series over the next year with additional videos focusing on the importance of survivor narratives and genocide stories passed down within families, Armenian classical music compositions, and more. The series is now live on the museum’s YouTube channel.
