I-House Lecture: Feast of Ashes

Hear the story of David Ohannessian, the renowned ceramicist who founded the art of Armenian pottery in Jerusalem, where his work and that of his followers is now celebrated as a local treasure. Sato Moughalain, Ohannessian’s granddaughter, weaves together family memoir, art history, and biography in this fascinating lecture. The book was longlisted by the PEN America Literary Awards for the 2020 PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography. Copies will be available for sale.
