Join ANAR DANA over the course of the next month as we explore 3 cultures and their changing national experiences and identities following the fall of the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
January 11th, 2026 we will begin with the emerging Turkish idendity, particularly of the Zeybek Culture of Aegean Turkey, through the Turkish War of Independence and the formation of national culture
following the founding of the Turkish Republic.
January 18th, 2026 we will continue with the Armenian people, their loss of homeland and genocide and their multi-faceted diaspora experiences with special attention on the Armenian diaspora communities in Fresno, California.
February 15th, we will further deepen our understanding by focusing on the the Greek population after the Turco-Greco exchange of of populations (particulary from the region of Aegean Turkey that we discussed in the Zeybek Cultural Talk) and the refugees'
adjustment to the new realities in mainland Greece. We will explore how this is reflected in the developent of the musical genre of Rebetiko.
Each of these ANAR DANA Cultural Talks is a stand-alone lecture, but taken all together will provide a truely profound understanding of the region and its diasporas.
