My Dear Brother

MY DEAR BROTHER: Armenians in Turkey 100 Years Ago 

This fascinating exhibition organised at the Brunei Gallery conceived by Osman Köker, of enlarged postcards from the collection of Orlando Carlo Calumeno ended on 24 July 2010. The exhibition was organised by the Armenian Institute
.
     An oral history-based community exhibition, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, ran simultaneously at the Gallery, displaying objects of that era found today in London Armenians’ homes. Thousands visited both exhibitions and left many positive comments. The oral history project will continue throughout the autumn. A booklet about the exhibition will also be published.
    
The magnificent catalogue of postcards edited by Osman Köker is now available for sale at the Armenian Institute, at a promotional price of £80 (plus p&p). To purchase your copy, please contact the Armenian Institute.
