AGBU’s Katapult Creative Accelerator Program spent the last two years conducting in-depth research on Armenia’s cultural and creative industries. Their goal was to identify barriers to their economic development and devise solutions to overcome these challenges.

The full report is available online at https://agbu.org/katapult in English and https://agbu.am/katapult in Armenian.

Accompanying their research is the exhibition “Beyond Data,” which presents their key research findings. Beyond Data experiments with artwork as a data visualization tool and invites the public to walk through, interact with, and experience their research in more intimate and nuanced ways. The exhibition was hosted at NPAK ՆՓԱԿ in Yerevan until April 28th.

Beyond Data was curated by Tatiana Vahan and Anna Gargarian, with programming by Shoghakat MLké-Galstian. Featuring artists included Aleksey Manukyan, Gohar Sargsyan, Samvel Saghatelian, di. studio, 4Plus Documentary Photography Center, Maïda Chavak, Armine Shahbazyan, Anush Ghukasyan, and Tatiana Vahan.
