Sarvarian Stations
The Sarvarians have left their mark in places across the world—from the narrow streets of Tehran’s Saadi neighborhood and the artistic circles of early-century Gyumri, to Baku’s once-bustling social scene. Their story continues across continents, through New York’s progressive social landscape, Toronto’s vibrant community life, and the arts and cultural scene of Los Angeles. Together, these places form the Sarvarian Stations—a map of the cities and communities where their lives, work, and legacy intersected.
