The exhibition, which will run from May 29 through Sept. 13, offers an intimate look into themes of family, memory and identity, according to a community announcement.

Markosian, who immigrated to the United States at age 7, uses photography, archival materials, video and text to document her emotional journey to reconnect with her estranged father.

Curated by Anahit Gasparyan, the exhibition is co-produced by Les Rencontres d’Arles and Foam, Amsterdam, and sponsored by the JHM Charitable Foundation, according to the announcement.

“By placing her own journey alongside her father’s parallel, unseen search, Markosian reveals how identity is shaped as much by loss and distance as by presence and reunion,” curator Anahit Gasparyan said in a statement. “‘Father’ offers a powerful meditation on the complexities of family and the enduring search for connection, inviting audiences to reflect on their own histories and relationships.”

The exhibition’s opening will include a private member preview (RSVP required via Eventbrite) at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 28, in the museum’s Adele and Haig Der Manuelian Galleries, 65 Main St., Watertown, according to the announcement. The event will feature a conversation between Markosian and Gasparyan, followed by a reception.

The exhibition marks the US debut of “Father,” which has previously been recognized with the Madame Figaro Prize at the Rencontres d’Arles in 2025. Markosian’s work has been showcased at international institutions and is held in prominent public and private collections.
