Firdus is a neighborhood deeply shaped by the memories of women, and now, the women of the art community are writing a new chapter—one of resistance, creativity, and defiance against the destruction of their beloved neighborhood. @CSN_Lab evnreport.com/raw-unfiltered…

Important article by @t_amiryan/@CSN_Lab on the negative impact #Georgia's #foreignagentlaw and authoritarian tendencies will have on #Armenia - including in the fields of Armenian-Azerbaijani dialogue, Armenia-EU relations, and Armenia's democratic development as a whole.

Yeghiazaryan authored the @CSN_Lab publication “Queer Memory in Armenia”, illuminating the queer culture of post-Soviet/independent Armenia, the memories shaped in the last few decades and the role of music. Very robust and sensitive work. Read: csnlab.net/article/queer#:~:…. #fmdk

Mariam Yeghiazaryan from @CSN_Lab in Armenia highlighted the liberating nature of techno/electronic music - especially in discriminatory regimes - by creating a feeling of mental belonging, bodily freedom via dancing, and emotional release through sound.

Fascinating talk: 'Rave Revolution in Georgia & Armenia: Escapism or Activism?' In Georgia, the techno scene has become a democratic and political force for inclusion and civil rights - and a threat to people who don’t want the country to move in the direction of the EU.  🧵
