My Santa Barbara
Stories of migration and relocation
Santa Barbara is Markosian’s exploration of her own personal history. In a similar spirit, Diana Markosian and FOMU invite visitors of the exhibition to record a short video commenting on the trajectory of their own life.
Diana Markosian’s Santa Barbara is about the challenges and trauma of dislocation and starting anew. Many people experience similar issues while migrating from one country or culture to another, often because they have no other choice. For others it may be a radical separation from family, a serious illness, a stint in the military, or other issues that cause one’s life to transform in unexpected ways.
