<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This lecture series, featuring Dr. Taner Akçam and Law Professor Michael Bazyler, will explore efforts to identify and recover Armenian art looted during the Armenian Genocide, drawing parallels with Nazi-looted art restitution.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The program will touch on UCLA's Armenian Genocide Looted Art Research Project (AGLARP), which brings together law students and art students—many of them Armenian-Americans—to search museum and institutional collections for Armenian art objects, aiming to create a comprehensive list of all Armenian art in the United States and their provenances.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The AGLARP specifically seeks to identify objects looted during or after the Armenian Genocide. Law Professor Michael Bazyler of Chapman University will discuss how models of Nazi-looted art recovery can inform this work, highlighting the legal and historical dimensions of restitution efforts. AGRP Director Dr. Taner Akçam will provide additional context on the Armenian Genocide and the scholarly significance of this unprecedented initiative.&nbsp;</p>
