3 Iranian artists heading to Armenia in August for Gyumri biennial

Behrang Samadzadegan, Barbad Golshiri, and Rozita Sharafjahan will leave Tehran for the northwestern Armenian city of Gyumri on August 2 to participate in a workshop which is slated to be held before the beginning of the biennial, ISNA reported on Saturday.

The theme of this year's biennial is "The Sea, Dreams, and Illusions".

The biennial was inaugurated in 1997 with the goal of helping to restore Gyumri to its former status as the influential cultural city it once was before the devastating earthquake of 1988.

Promoting cultural exchanges and dialogue between Armenia and the international artistic community is one of the other primary goals of the biennial.
