Aslı Çavuşoğlu is a conceptual artist whose installations have been exhibited in Paris, Sao Paulo, Istanbul, London, Vienna, and New York City. Her recent work, “Red/Red” was part of the 2015 Istanbul Biennial and received high praise from various media outlets.

“Red/Red” uses the paint vordan karmir that the artist obtained from Dr. Armen Shahakyan from Madenataran. The installation tells a story through its color. Çavuşoğlu’s work often challenges the ways in which history and culture can be distorted and manipulated by authoritarian powers. Her installations explore the individual’s struggle to reclaim truth, memory, and freedom.

The event will be moderated by Arto Vaun, Senior Lecturer at the American University of Armenia. 
Admission: Free / Talk will be in English with Armenian translation.
