content: Satenik Mkrtchyan; Tsovinar Hovhannisyan; Armine Poghosyan; Aghasi Tadevosyan; Armenia was part of the Soviet Union for 70 years. Scholar Aghasi Tadevosyan, Qanon teacher and professer Tsovinar Hovhannisyan, and lace-maker and teacher Armine Poghosyan discuss development and decline during this period, characteristics of the post-Soviet generation and Soviet heritage, and contrast Soviet "Palaces of Pioneers" with new post-Soviet creative tech hubs like TUMO and the newly opened COAF Smart Center. This session is presented by curator Satenik Mkrtchyan. This session is made possible by the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation, Birthright Armenia, and Armenia Volunteer Corps.
