The Literary Salon: A Room of One’s Own for the Rebellious
ArtsA lecture dedicated to Srpuhi Dussap, the first Armenian female novelist and feminist, who influenced girls in Constantinople to wear trousers and cut their hair short. Hasmik Simonyan will explore why Dussap’s debut novel 'Mayda' was considered a 'prayer book' for Armenian women, the practical solutions discussed in her literary salon, and why her influence provoked a sharp, biting reaction from Krikor Zohrab. Speaker: Hasmik Simonyan
Organizer
An annual literature festival held in Yerevan (Republic Square) that brings together readings, book launches, panels, translation and publishing initiatives, and international guest publishers; the festival also runs satellite events in regional cities like Gyumri and Kapan.
