We found a nicer place to stay – close to the opera, with paintings by our landlady and her father. Plus tea and cake:).
Met up with Tsomak, a music curator from Utopiana, a non-profit arts organization based in Geneva with an office in Yerevan, who introduced us to Yerevan’s alternative cultural scene.
In the afternoon we managed to find time for the Parajanov museum and then met Edgar Amroyan and Garik Yengibaryan from Art Laboratory collective who took us on a personalised tour of Yerevan complete with examples of local street art.
We finished the day at Hovhannes Margaryan‘s studio looking at documentation of Art Laboratory’s political works, actions and performances.
