Hye There (“Hye” means Armenian in Armenian) is a series of public workshops led by queer Armenian artists centered around healing the pain of diasporic Armenians in the wake of the ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Armenians in Artsakh. These workshops will include cultural Armenian dance, drag, and narrative, poetic, and comedic writing led by local and visiting artists in the San Francisco Bay Area in Fall 2025. The workshops uplift the queer diasporic Armenian experience while showcasing the resiliency and beauty of these complex interwoven identities.
