"Monahon has constructed a wildly funny piece that plays as pure entertainment, even as it weaves increasingly complex ideas...Her question here is, how much of ourselves are we willing to chisel off in order to survive? And then, what will be left of us?"
--New York Times

In 1924, a family of Armenian immigrants fights to attain legal whiteness in court in order to secure their status as citizens. In 2024, their descendants star on a controversial reality television show, which invites a group of Armenian Americans to shoot an episode about their culture. Meet the Cartozians explores the thorny nature of whiteness and the enduring effects of assimilation.
