Art10/07/2025 de 18:00 à 20:00
“A Curse that Turns Gold into Ladybugs” delves into the world of rumors, conspiracies, and fetishization of Armenian wealth in Turkey. This exhibition investigates the practice of treasure hunting, focusing on cryptic maps, medieval spells and the myth of buried Armenian gold. More than a century after the Armenian Genocide, this myth continues to haunt Turkish national imagination, revealing how the legacy of dispossession remains deeply inscribed in its psyche.
Beirut Art Days is an event taking place under the patronage of Ministry of Culture
