I am an artist, art educator, and curator of Armenian descent living in Munich who firmly believes in the power of interdisciplinary networking and creative collaboration. Since 2020, I have co-founded the socio-cultural platform G.Urban (www.gurbanplatform.com) between Munich and Armenia, which implements international collaborations and projects in both countries. As part of the art education projects “Artworks for Peace” in war-affected villages in Artsakh, Armenia, I have met talented filmmakers in recent years and am excited to present a joint film creation with them at this year’s Kino Asyl.
