Bilingual Poetry Writing Workshop with Lola Koundkjian
Armenian Institute & Quarter Tone Poets
1 Onslow Street, London EC1N 8AS
Enjoy a night of poetry and music.
The Armenian Institute and Quarter Tone Poets invite you to a unique bilingual poetry workshop led by Lola Koundakjian, shaped by live music and shared writing.
Lola will share texts in Western Armenian and English and introduce a series of prompts for short, guided writing sessions. As you write, live instrumentalist Kourosh Kanani will perform acoustic, meditative music to create a focused, contemplative space. There is no set theme! This session is designed to generate new drafts and ideas rather than polished poems. Participants will be invited to share their work, if they wish.
The workshop will move between Western Armenian and English, depending on the language skills in the room. Eastern Armenian speakers are also warmly welcomed. We aim to create an open, inclusive space for writers of all backgrounds and levels.
This event is a partnership with Quarter Tone Poets, and is also part of the Armenian Institute's Heritage of Displacement: Oral Histories from the UK Armenian Communities (2023–2026) project, funded by a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, thanks to National Lottery players.
