Armenian History x Digital Humanities: Immersive worlds, playable archives and experimental storytelling platforms
Armenian Institute
1 Onslow Street - London EC1N 8AS
A conversation with Madeleine Kelleyan, artist and digital experience designer; Emily Jerjian, video game designer; and Alyssa Campbell, data science professional.
As part of the Armenian Institute’s 25th anniversary digital showcase, Dreams for the Future, this event brings together three artists whose work explores the intersections of digital humanities, memory, and intergenerational storytelling through contemporary media practices. In the wake of genocide and displacement, histories are often fragmented across generations. Yet, emerging digital technologies are opening new pathways for reconnecting with the past, allowing artists and communities to preserve, reconstruct, and reimagine cultural histories in innovative and deeply personal ways.
Highlighting two of the UK-based Armenian artists selected for Dreams for the Future, the discussion will explore how digital media can serve as a tool for remembrance, archival intervention, and cultural continuity. Madeleine Kelleyan’s work engages virtual reality, digital cultural heritage and interactive storytelling to create meaningful connections between memory, place, and identity. Emily Jerjian’s immersive digital environments investigate perception, embodiment, and virtual space as sites of emotional and historical reflection. Alongside them, Alyssa Campbell brings a research-driven approach to digital memory and archival practice within the field of digital humanities.
Together, these artists will reflect on how contemporary technologies can challenge historical erasure and foster new forms of intergenerational connection. Through their practices, the event considers how digital art and humanities can help imagine futures rooted in remembrance, resilience, and collective cultural memory.
