Unwritten Future: Friends and Performers of AI (Part 2)

Celebrating our 20th anniversary this year, we’re releasing an exclusive podcast series speaking with founders, friends, performers, language tutors and the staff of AI!

In the second episode of Unwritten Future, trustee Arda Eghiayan speaks with Shake Major Tchilingirian (01:15), Vergine Gulbenkian (10:28) and Vanessa Galbraith (26:46) while Programme Manager Nik Matheou interviews former PHD Supervisor, AI Chair of Trustees and current Calouste Gulbenkian Professor of Armenian Studies in Oxford, Theo Maarten van Lint (17:32).

The guests in this episodes have been on the board of AI, volunteered at the earliest events, hosted workshops, participated in events and continue to be present members of our community. Arda and Nik discuss cross-continent coincidences, bringing one's grandmother to workshops, the opening of Tower Bridge to retrace the route of a medieval Armenian trading ship, and the lack of necessary dialogue between Armenian and Azeri communities for a more peaceful and hopeful future.

The Armenian Institute is a London based charity dedicated to making Armenian culture and history a lived experience through innovative programmes, educational resources, workshops, lectures, exhibits and performances. This year we present Zanazan: an umbrella title covering our upcoming media output, from online and print publications to podcast series.

Zanazan Sounds is a project that aims to explore shared histories, learn about contemporary Armenian worlds and create new ones. Zanazan (meaning “variety” in Armenian) is also the title of our latest online publication where photo essays, articles and poetry from around the world can be found.

To get involved with AI you can find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. If you’d like to reach out, or to discuss anything you’ve heard in this series, feel free to email us anytime at olivia@armenianinstitute.org.uk
