With author Sato Moughalian and Dr Adila Laïdi-Hanieh
The Palestinian Museum will host the launch of Armenian-American researcher Sato Moughalian’s book Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian. Moughalian explores the life and art of her grandfather, David Ohannessian, who owned and led Jerusalem’s “Dome of the Rock Tiles” workshop in Palestine from 1919 until 1948. The book tells the story of the founding of the art of Armenian ceramics in the city, tracing Ohannessian’s steps from the historic Ottoman ceramics center of Kütahya to his arrival and career in Jerusalem through his artistic work in churches, houses, on the walls of the Old City, and elsewhere.
