In addition to the opening of this evening, consider visiting these ongoing shows:

🪡 TAI presents the exhibition of embroidery ‘Pariahs’ as a result of 2-year research of the memory of displaced and exiled people. The exhibition reflects the memories of individuals emigrated from Cilicia (Aintap, Marash, Urfa, etc.) in 1915, who underwent the difficult path of exile, to bring back and save the forgotten forms of Cilicia embroidery and lacework.

Today is the opening of a collective exhibition, a result of the annual installation festival. This year the festival is huge — 44 works by artists from 12 countries. The curator is the sweetest italian artist Giorgio Granata, who is staying at the Sleepover Residency and hosting another exhibition you can visit to get to know him.

As each year, the theme is open-ended and we will see many interpretations of a ‘Feeling’ from such a multitude of creatives. Take your chance to speak with authors today to find out what informed their works.

The start is at 19:00, the performance ‘Displaced’ is at 20:00

📆 THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS IS HERE

From the inception of this channel it’s been clear to me that the telegram channel or any social media is not the best way to keep up with the events in the art scene.

Events happen all the time but their announcements drown in the endless stream of messages and ultimately get lost or forgotten if you even get to see them at all. This is why it’s hard to keep up with what’s happening and to plan where to go and what to see.

That’s why me and the creative organizers of Armenia are trying something new. It is the calendar to which you subscribe once and get the access to all of the events that are happening in contemporary art in Armenia for years to come.
