SUMMARY:ALT B: MIXTAPE: Live with Perla Kantarjian & Olivia Melkonian
LOCATION:Bush Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Armenian Arts and Film London launches a new series of cross-di
 sciplinary events at Bush Theatre — starting with poetry and sound.\nOne
  of Perla Kantarjian's poems is archived on the Moon\, sent up as part of 
 the Lunar Codex. Lebanese-Armenian\, writing in her third language\, Engli
 sh\, she's been racking up prizes — from the Bridport Prize to the Natio
 nal Poetry Competition — and was the sole Sonny Mehta Scholar chosen fro
 m the MENA region at UEA. The Guardian calls her work "fierce and bristlin
 g with life." Her debut\, You Must Become Field (Bad Betty Press)\, lands 
 in the UK this September\, moving from 1915 Constantinople to a 2025 Beiru
 t club bathroom — and from language to language\, the way memory does.\n
 "I come from a family that was already once made homeless by history\," Ka
 ntarjian says. "Writing is how I hold the small and the vast in one hand."
 \nJoining her: Olivia Melkonian\, sound artist and founder of Analog Armen
 ia\, an open-access archive preserving Armenian cassette culture — endan
 gered dialects\, folk songs\, revolutionary broadcasts\, sourced from Leba
 non\, Armenia and community contributions. Melkonian traces her own fragme
 nted Lebanese-Armenian heritage through the recordings she saves.\nTwo arc
 hivists\, different mediums — one in language\, one in tape. Expect poet
 ry and music alongside the conversation\, followed by drinks in the Bush T
 heatre's welcoming cafe. \nArmenian Arts and Film London supports and prom
 otes Armenian and diasporan artists\, filmmakers\, and creatives through c
 ultural and educational programmes. MIXTAPE is a series of events assemble
 d by Armenian Arts and Film London to give a platform to new voices in the
  arts and beyond. Co-sponsored by Bad Betty Press and the International Ar
 menian Literary Alliance (IALA).\n\nBoletos: https://system.spektrix.com/b
