Veronika Babayan is an artist, writer and educator, who is interested in pedagogies and practices that affect the perpetual production of a national identity. Babayan works with collective memories that offer alternative accounts to those of mainstream histories. Using and animating traditional women’s practices,she emphasizes the role of feminism in undermining hegemonic authority in patriotic memory.
Babayan looks for ways in which antagonistic histories such as the Armenian-Turkish interact with each other transnationally by borrowing existing cultural elements, signs and symbols to create new spaces for interterritorial belonging.
