“BEIRUT”: The exhibition “Ara Oshagan: How the World Might Be” is on view through December 2 at Mercer County Community College’s JKC Gallery in Trenton.

Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) James Kerney Campus Gallery (JKCG) presents its latest exhibition, “Ara Oshagan: How the World Might Be,” on view through December 2.

“Mercer County Community College is thrilled to welcome Ara Oshagan, Los Angeles-based photographer and installation artist to JKC Gallery in Trenton,” said JKC Gallery Director Michael Chovan-Dalton. “His works reveal a diasporic personal and familial history that is truly captivating.”

Oshagan is an Armenian multi-disciplinary and intersectional artist working in photography, collage, archive, film, book and installation art. “How the World Might Be” showcases works from several series that weave together the artist’s interests in diasporic possibility, afterlives of displacement, and (un)imagined futures.

The exhibit employs photography, film, and collage to present a layered vision of “diasporic presence” that intertwines documentary with the constructed, text with image, fact with speculation, personal history with collective history. “How The World Might Be” entangles past-present-future and imagines the possibility of what was and what might or might not be.

JKC Gallery is located at 137 North Broad Street in Trenton. For more information about this exhibition and the artist, visit jkcgallery.online/ara-oshagan-how-the-world-might-be. Register for your visit at least one day in advance at JKCGallery.online.
