Terroir/Territory: Memory, Identity, and Land through Visual Storytelling Join French-American journalist and author, Lindsey Tramuta in an intimate conversation with Armenian-Lebanese-French photojournalist and filmmaker, Astrig Agopian, for the Paris launch of Agopian's multimedia exhibition, Like There's No Tomorrow. Like There's No Tomorrow is the culmination of a three-year documentary photography project capturing the stories of ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, where soil and land become both symbols of resilience and repositories of memory amidst conflict. What we see through this body of work is a deep exploration of cultural identity, displacement, and memory within the context of a region that no longer exists and begs the questions of what anchors us when borders shift or we are forced to leave; and how can we protect the cultural roots that connect us to our histories and ways of life? As a way to connect us to the land that over 114,000 ethnic Armenian refugees hold on to as memory, we will be guided through a sensory experience tasting wines from the region. In terroir studies, soil is seen not only as a physical medium but as a vessel for memory, containing layers of meaning that trace back to past generations and cultural practices. This parallel illuminates how land and territory carry deep, enduring significance, acting as conduits for preserving culture and history in times of displacement. Just as terroir grants wine regions their unique story and sense of place, Like There’s No Tomorrow reflects the symbolic power of soil and landscape in the lives of displaced Armenians, using these natural elements to sustain cultural identity amidst upheaval. This event is organized and sponsored by ART WORKS Projects in partnership with PARAMAZ Atelier. In addition to the guided wine tasting, additional refreshments and light appetizers will be available for all guests. EXHIBITION HOURS Like There's No Tomorrow will be on view daily at PARAMAZ Atelier starting 3 - 9 March from 12:00 - 18:00. Please email info@artworksprojects.org if you would like to arrange a special tour and guided visit.

Her work has been featured in dozens of international news outlets including Agence France-Presse (AFP), Arte, Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS), Le Figaro, France 24, Puls 4 Austria and others.

ART WORKS Projects’ (AWP) mission is to use design and the arts to raise awareness of and educate the public about significant human rights issues. With offices in Chicago and The Hague, AWP provides visual advocacy tools which produce action on human rights crises at the grassroots, media, and policy levels. Conceptualized and created in conjunction with established documentary photographers, NGO's and human rights advocates, AWP's multimedia exhibitions, archives, films, and visual toolkits provide opportunities for large numbers of the general population to engage in ending major human rights violations. All proceeds from this event will go directly towards the continued advancement of Astrig's project through the Emerging Lens Fellowship program. Visit: www.artworksprojects.org to learn more. PARAMAZ is a French-Armenian-Lebanese leather atelier and café in the heart of Paris, founded by Hagop Markarian, a Lebanese-born Armenian leather craftsman who learned the craft at a very young age in his family’s leather and shoe atelier in Beirut. Paramaz is a space dedicated to preserving (cultural) heritage, where traditional leather working techniques merge with contemporary design. Beyond leatherwork, the space serves as a hub for creative exchange, hosting artists and creators, collaborations, and cultural encounters.

Versailles was a feast for the eyes. I am still in awe of its splendour. The odd thing was that my e-ticket was issued for 09:30, even though I bought it for 11:00. Luckily, it did not deny my entry to the Versailles, but it was careless indeed.
