Krikor Zohrab, author, lawyer, and a member of the Ottoman Chamber of Deputies, was a prominent and widely-respected figure in the national and cultural life of Armenians in Turkey, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was among the 200 or so national and religious leaders murdered by the Ottoman authorities as a prelude to their massacre of the Armenian people in 1915.\
Kristin Anahit Cass is a writer and artist working in photography, video, sculpture and other media. Cass’s work imagines the future, touches the past, and envisions a better world. As Tamar Boyadjian noted in Hyperallergic, Cass’s work “recognizes the lived experience of trauma, yet owns the ability of humans to individually and collectively reframe that experience in their hearts to make way for reparations.” In addition to her arts education, Cass has worked with women and minority owned businesses, artists, and nonprofits in her career as a lawyer. She is one of the founders of the LGBTQ platform Entanik (Family) where she’s active in supporting creatives in the global community. Her Borderlands Under Fire project was a finalist for the 2018 Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize. Cass is a graduate of the University of Chicago. She lives in Chicago and Denver.
