Avetik Isahakyan and China: Meeting of Civilizations

Avetik Isahakyan and China: Meeting of Civilizations

Next from House-Museum of Av. IsahakyanOnly the Chord of Love Remained...Mon, Oct 5 · 19:00
Translated

A public lecture and exhibition opening exploring the overlooked East Asian collection at the Avetik Isahakyan House-Museum. Alongside the poet's manuscripts stand Buddhist statues, Daoist deities, and Chinese sages — objects that reveal a deep material engagement with Eastern philosophy beyond his literary works. Drawing on rare archival materials, the lecture uncovers how Isahakyan constructed a silent dialogue with China, creating a space where Armenian poetry and ancient Chinese wisdom coexist. Speaker: Ani Margaryan (PhD), Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Art, Soochow University, and founder of ChinArmArt.

Organizer
