Hrag Vartanian is a critic, writer, curator, and lecturer whose work traces the intersections of art, politics, and diasporan consciousness. Co-founder and editor-in-chief of Hyperallergic (2009–), and the recipient of the Rabkin Foundation’s 2024 Susan C. Larsen Lifetime Achievement Award for Visual Arts Writing, he has reshaped arts journalism by championing criticism and reporting beyond market-driven narratives. He will discuss his approach through projects that probe trauma, displacement, racialization, propaganda, and the social role of art.

WHERE: Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax Central Library
This talk is presented as part of NSCAD’s Visiting Artist program, supported by the Daglish Family Foundation Visiting Artist Fund.
