Flesh Immemorial

mixed media installation
A creative experiment in the undoing of absence and kaleidoscopic super(im)position of Western Armenians onto their home-landscapes of origin. These mixed-media monuments are radical interventions of place and land from which they descend but may not have access to.

 

Symptom Error

short film, with Oolik Productions
Embodying the dreams and poetics of a post-Soviet generation, two young Armenian women share their politics of justice and feminism with the world through their music.

Ensouled

graphic novel & episodic series (in development)
A solitary hacker faces mounting pressure to join an underground resistance movement when they discover secret correspondences between their magical ancestors who were Armenian Genocide survivors. Painful childhood memories resurface as their lover is kidnapped by state soldiers, forcing them to embrace resistance is their birthright.

The Brighter I Shine

Children’s book, illustrated by Lusine Ghukasyan, published by Lantana
For one Armenian child, birthdays are a time for decorating the house with bunches of rose and mint and sumac, for eating beef dumplings with garlic yoghurt, and for baking cakes with family and friends. But birthdays are also a time for telling stories – stories of ancestors and homelands, of births and new beginnings, and of the land their family now calls home. For stories make up who we are, and the more stories that are told, the brighter this little child shines. A magical tale about finding yourself in the stories of your ancestors and keeping their memories alive.

Portals

graphic memoir
The Portals storyworld is based on a series of creative non-fiction prose written during the first five years of becoming a parent called, “Queer Motherhood is Speculative Fiction,” which was published in Mizna magazine (21.2) and received a Pushcart nomination. The story follows a first-person narrator as a multiverse portal rips through their body during labour, giving them the ability to glimpse into other versions of their life as war wages in their homeland.
