On March 2, Ani Babaian-Khachikian will speak at a dinner meeting of the St. James Armenian Church Men’s Club about the cultural heritage of the Armenians in Isfahan. Babaian-Khachikian will present a pictorial review and a brief history of Armenians in Iran, with a focus on New Julfa-Isfahan art, culture, and traditions.

She is the author of numerous articles and presented many public talks on Armenian and Persian art. In 2013 she joined the National Association of Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) staff and has since been responsible for the ongoing cataloguing of the Mardigian Library.

In 2014, she was invited to Yerevan and Isfahan to present a paper on the 350th anniversary of St. Amenaprkich Vank (Holy Savior Cathedral) regarding the murals, artists, and new findings discovered during the restoration process. Babaian-Khachikian is also a fine art painter who has participated in solo and group exhibitions.
