How do we navigate different cultures in America? How do we represent those experiences? These questions have been explored throughout history and from many perspectives. Anoush offers a creative and personal response through cartoons, storytelling, 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 her work: when you’re pressured to fit into a box, you’re also given the opportunity to design it yourself.

Throughout the evening, we’ll delve into how people shape identity, use art as a lens to explore personal experiences and belonging, and create a sense of 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 will 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 representation and belonging.

#### This is for people who are:

  • Into learning new things, idea-led conversations, and meeting new people
  • An artist, or creative, or appreciator of art and creativity.
  • Curious about the nuances of blending cultures, languages, and countries.
  • Coming for the cheers, and staying for the conversation 🍻🤓💭
