AHA collective, 31, Yerevan, Yerevan, 0002, Armenia.

As Yerevan embraces its Golden Fall season, we invite you to an intimate aperitivo at our carpet-filled gallery on October 27 to meet Daniel Heer in Armenia for his field research on textile. Based in Berlin, Daniel is a fourth-generation Swiss artisan specializing in the manufacture of horsehair mattresses made completely by hand, since 1907! During his time in Yerevan, Daniel is researching the narrative of the football tricot by deconstructing and complementing it with traditional Armenian embroidery. His work will be part of the Yerevan Edition of the upcoming exhibition ‘Event of a Thread’ at the National Gallery of Armenia next year.

Come meet Daniel, discuss about what it means to continue a century-old family enterprise in Europe, learn about horsehair fiber, talk about gender, labor, and the social meanings of textile, topics resonating so deeply with the ‘Warp & Variations’ exhibition on view at the gallery presenting our second red carpet collection designed by Normal for this year’s Golden Apricot Film Festival.

Free entrance but space is limited
