Flow

Hi! Barev! Welcome to my Fabricademy journey. I am Luiza Naslyan, an ARTivist and a lifelong learner.
As for ARTivism, I use my voice through artworks, installations, and crafts to raise awareness about things that matter: conscious living and sustainability over consumption, human rights, specifically children's and women's rights. In my Fabricademy journey, week by week, my values and views as a human and an artist will unfold.
I keep studying cultures, myself through inner growth, and our ties with nature and each other.
Change
¶
Change can be scary, but once we allow our hearts to guide us, our minds will help us figure it all out. My professional path started as a linguist, then took a turn to an artist, art educator, carpet weaver, Armenian folk dancer, and now an "Alchemist and a designer" in Fabricademy.
My linguistic and artistic backgrounds merged in an artistic laboratory at ACCEA / NPAK, where I explored Armenian dialects and their influence on identity through a set of interviews and by creating artworks at the end of the lab.
I raised a question about human influence on the environment at the 2nd oil painting biennale at the Dafen Museum, China, in the scope of "Home and Co-existence".
Ecological questions and human conscious living were the focal point for a month during my immersive exhibition in Dilijan local lore museum and via sets of workshop we explored ways of upcycling, reducing the usage of plastic and the bio alternatives for chemical hygene products with the local community.
As an installation artist I presented my works at installation festivals. With my "C-section" / "ԿեսԱՐՅԱՆ" work I raised questions about healthcare sector failures, and with my "Give your pain to the cloud" I talked about the importance of self awareness.
As a result of my studies both Armenian and other cultures with a mission to bring people to a face-to-face-interaction, I re-imagined ancient games.

Be brave!

I started Fabricademy journey due to the Fab Lab Armenia in Dilijan! The warmth of the Fablabians, specifically lovely Anoush Arshakyan, gave me the feeling - I can come back here again, I feel comfortable.
The sunny and bright Fab Lab Armenia office is a dream workspace, and the technologies I have seen and tried for the first time in my life, made me BELIEVE I can realize my dreams faster and better.
Being a new mom, with a newly chosen path of Fabricademy, I told myself to be Brave and go ahead with the call of my heart: coding and design programs can be mine too!
