What is home to Armenians in literature? Which Armenians, you may ask? How does the idea of homeland manifest in the latest English-language literary anthology of Armenian writing? Where can the multitudes of symbolic, remembered, and actual homelands of Armenians be found?
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation exploring these questions with contributors to Wasafiri Magazine’s special issue, Armenia(n)s – Elevation. The panel, chaired by the issue’s co-editors, Tatevik Ayvazyan and Naneh V. Hovhannisyan, will feature Wasafiri’s Editor-in-Chief and Publishing Director, Sana Goyal. Bringing together a poet, a comparative literature scholar, a nonfiction writer, and an ethnomusicologist, this discussion will delve into reading, writing, narratives, and hopes.
This virtual event, cosponsored by Wasafiri Magazine, is part of Literary Lights 2025, our ongoing reading series, and will take place on March 22, 2025 at 9:00 AM Pacific | 12:00 PM Eastern | 8:00 PM AMT. Editors Tatevik Ayvazyan and Naneh Hovhannisyan will be joined by contributors Sylvia Alajaji, Armen Davoudian, Myrna Douzjian, and Shogher Sargsyan in an engaging panel discussion. Free admission.
