SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAS 2026 Annual Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Distinguished Lecture. Threading the Tapestry for a Future Armenia
DESCRIPTION:For the 2026 Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Distinguished Lecture\, artist Levon Kafafian\, with visual culture scholar Marie-Aude Baronian will host a salon-style discussion on the foci and output of Kafafian’s practice through the metaphor of weaving as world-building. The conversation will revolve around the central place of textiles in Kafafian’s work and the possibilities inherent in communicating through textile media. Threads of discussion will examine how they navigate Armenian-ness through materiality and what emerges when invoking Armenian material culture traditions and iconographies into a distinctly darorinagvadz (queered) artistic production. Threading the Tapestry for a Future Armenia reflects upon the possibility of making an Armenian future through creative practice.\n   \n   Webinar ID\n   981 9783 9327\n   https://umich.zoom.us/j/98197839327\n\nCosponsors: National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\, Institute for the Humanities\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
