Who am I ?¶
First of all I am a big big dreamer and I know that anything is possible! I discovered Fab Lab Armenia-Dilijan six months ago and fell in love with the endless possibilities that open up there.
I first got there as a volunteer content writer, because the Fab Lab is a magical portal that connects the local community to the great world of technology and digital manufacturing. And for the people of Armenia, this is vital! You can read about my volunteer work and plans to start a Fab Academy in the article.
Working with children is what inspires me the most and fills me with joy. I realized that there is nothing more important than helping at least one child, to preserve the ability to dream and the courage to create when he/she grows up.
For several months now, my (already official) duties as a content writer and copywriter at the Fab Lab have been supplemented by the indirect duties of organizing collaborations with artists and workshops for children. My background as an artist and art manager provides with a key support for this.
My background¶
I was born in Armenia, in the beautiful city of Gyuumri, which is called the city of arts. Since childhood, I have been involved in the world of art, music and books.
I graduated as a financial economist, but my passion for beauty soon brought me back into the world of art and magic as an art manager. After graduating from the National Association of Art Critics (AICA - Armenia), I became a co-organizer of many festivals in Armenia, a curator of expositions and art projects. Collaborations with ACCEA (Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art), deBuren (Dutch and Belgian cultural organizations) and CCA (Center of Contemporary Art - Tbilisi) became a life changing experience for me.
