Beschreibung
Address: Balat Orphanage is dedicated to the history of a place of care that played a pivotal
role for Istanbul's Armenian community over the course of nearly two centuries: the
Khorenyan School and Orphanage in the neighbourhood of Balat, which closed its gates in
the late 1970s. As they trace the Khorenyan’s social and cultural memory, co-authors Tigran
Amiryan and Arsen Abrahamyan reflect on the dis5nc5ve posi5on of Armenian educa5onal
ins5tu5ons in the OKoman Empire and later in the Republic of Turkey. In exploring the
intertwined processes of forgePng and remembrance, they offer intriguing insights into a
rich trove of unpublished archival material that documents community life before, during,
and aRer the Armenian Genocide.
