Linda Ganjian, "Her Memory, A Metropolis"

A solo exhibition featuring works by Linda Ganjian. Ganjian’s work, comprising collages and patterned landscapes, embodies a fusion of architectural and sculptural elements deeply influenced by her Middle Eastern heritage. Inspired by the ornamental patterns seen in traditional carpets, reliquaries, manuscripts and the intricate architectural details of temples and mosques, Ganjian’s pieces convey complex narratives rooted in communal histories. Her Hands, My Hands evokes both a cityscape and a topographical map, intertwining personal history with cultural symbolism. The piece serves as a landscape of memories honoring the artist’s grandmother—an Armenian immigrant from Istanbul, a renowned seamstress, and a devout woman.
