Elen Papikyan: Vard
ArtsTUMO Studios presents the first solo exhibition by Elen Papikyan. In the “Vard” collection, the tradition of Armenian needle lace unfolds into a new, three-dimensional language. Through the unity of thread and needle, embroidery leaves the flat surface to take on form and weight. Each jewelry piece is shaped slowly by hand, following a rhythm of patience and time. The collection is a dialogue between heritage and transformation, presenting Armenian needle lace as a living tradition that evolves through a contemporary creative language.
Organizer
TUMO Studios is a nonprofit, hands-on design and craft education program in Yerevan that runs workshops, technical courses, public lectures, exhibitions and collaborative fashion projects. The Studios emphasize analog product-making, sustainability, and community-driven initiatives (e.g., Hand by Hand) to support young artisans and displaced women.
