Giving wings to art: How ArTever hopes to bring Armenian stories to life

In a time when technology shapes how children see the world, Armenian parents may worry about what their children consume online. For Narek Sargsyan, an artist and photographer forcibly displaced from Artsakh, the solution lies in “stories that carry the Armenian soul and values,” wrapped in the language of children.

“Our children should grow up with Armenian values from early childhood. The best way to pass those values on is through animated films with competitive quality and interesting plots,” Sargsyan told the Armenian Weekly. He said he would like to show Armenian culture through engaging stories that capture the imagination, and not through direct preaching.
