Rachel Hakimian Emenaker: Dreams Gather Here

ReflectSpace at Glendale Central Library is pleased to present Dreams Gather Here, a solo exhibition by Rachel Hakimian Emenaker. The exhibition explores how the cultural memory of diasporic communities is preserved in the history of material objects. Moving across geographies that include Armenia, Syria, Russia, South America, and the United States, Emenaker’s work reflects on how people, objects, and gestures carry memory through time, forming the foundations of new futures and new cities. This booklist is informed by Emenaker's rich background and what inspires her multi-faceted approach to multimedia storytelling, remembrance, and reimagining. Listed are library materials that range in subject matter from Surinamean fiction, batik dyeing techniques, to histories of displacement and erasure. On view: February 17 - April 26, 2026
