This autobiographical video documents the pilgrimage to the Holy City Jerusalem. By the end of the journey, the artist marks her body with a BADGE OF PRIDE called "HAJJI TATTOO," an iconographic image tattooed on her right arm as her Armenian cultural religious heritage. And in contrast, this body project experience transcends from its traditional “religiousness” to become a pure form of self-narration, self-construction, and a live archive of her breathing identity.

 

Free and open to the public.
