How do we navigate different cultures in America? How do we represent
those experiences? These questions have been explored throughout
history from many perspectives. Anoush offers a creative and personal
response through cartoons, stories, and humor.

Join us for a stimulating lecture by storyteller and cartoonist,
Anoush Froundjian. Anoush explores the nuances of navigating multiple
cultures — capturing the strange, funny, and deeply human moments
that often feel difficult to put into words. A common thread emerges
throughout the work: when you’re pressured to fit into a box,
you’re also given the opportunity to design it yourself.

Together, the evening looks at how people shape identity, use art as a
lens to explore personal experience and belonging, and make meaning
out of moments that rarely fit neatly into one category.

Anoush Froundjian is a storyteller and cartoonist whose work centers
on the Armenian experience in America. She creates the webcomic Anoush
Talks to Stuff, where a girl speaks to inanimate objects, and
co-produces the storytelling show The Armenian Power Hour. You can
find her at @AnoushTalksToStuff and learn more about the show at
@thearmenianpowerhour.

We’ll explore:

???? storytelling, art, and cartoons as tools for expressing identity

???? moments, big and small, that shape cultural experience

???? how personal stories can reveal broader questions around culture,
representation, and belonging
