content: ; Frrik Show; Gyumri is a city of arts and crafts. A group of young artists created an initiative called Gyumri is Our Home, with the idea to beautify the city and promote environmentally-friendly practices. Using social media, they bring together thousands of youth for creative projects, like murals made from recycled plastic bottle caps. Learn the techniques of frrik, a traditional Armenian spinning top toy, revived by this group of artists in Gyumri. This session is made possible by the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation and HIKE Armenia.
