From Embroidery To Porcelain: Arpy Gokceyan

Nov13Fri, November 1319:00 - 21:00
Tumo Studios44 Arami poghots, Yerevan 0010, Armenia

An exhibition by artist Arpy Gokceyan where the language of textiles finds expression in porcelain. Coming from generations of seamstresses, tailors, crocheters, and thread merchants, Gokceyan draws on her Armenian and Lebanese heritage, tracing the threads of family memory through material and form. Working with porcelain as thin as 2 mm, she creates delicate, translucent pieces that recall the lightness and texture of fabric. Shaped by histories of war, displacement, and interrupted traditions, the installations become an act of resistance against cultural erasure and a way of keeping alive memories threatened with disappearance. The exhibition is open until November 27, 2026: weekdays 11:00–20:00, weekends 13:00–20:00.

Organizer
