We Were Looking for Ourselves in Each Other
Daniela Eorendjian Torrente
03.05.23 10.06.23
During the afternoon of Wednesday, May 3, 2023, we opened the ´ace studio to share with the public the processes of our residents. In this open studio, Daniela Eorendjian Torrente presented We Were Looking for Ourselves in Each Other, a project based on her experience as a granddaughter of Armenian Genocide survivors. Focusing on issues of forced displacement and the impact it had on the construction of her identity (and on the identity of women of the Armenian diaspora), Daniela’s project materialized in intervened photographs, interviews with women of the Armenian community in Buenos Aires and the live performance of Valeria Cherekian, Armenian singer.
Daniela came to Buenos Aires to work on her research on the Armenian diaspora. In her own words:
“Based on my experience as a granddaughter of Armenian Genocide survivors, my research focuses on the issues of forced displacement and its impacts on identity construction, including the fears and traumas developed by those who did not experience the war firsthand. For the artist residency at Proyeto´ace, I interviewed some women from the Armenian diaspora in Buenos Aires, where I was able to understand how each one feels their Armenianness, their emotions and desires for the future. During the process, I was also in the events related to the 108th anniversary of the genocide, participating in walks and masses, being able to feel the strength of the Armenian diaspora.”
