Filippo Biagioli's Analphabetic Art at Toumanian Museum for Museums Night 2026
A solo exhibition by Filippo Biagioli, titled 'Through Two Centuries / Visioni attraverso due secoli', will debut on Saturday, 16th May 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Hovhannes Toumanian Museum located in Yerevan, Armenia. This event aligns with Museums Night. Biagioli, the creator of Analphabetic Art, has crafted pieces for this exhibition that explore Armenian fairy tales and ancestral spirits through a raw, elemental artistic approach. His 'analphabetic' style features direct symbols and a free, expressive quality akin to graffiti, intentionally moving away from traditional academic norms to evoke a primitive, childlike essence. This exhibition serves as a cultural connection between the literary legacy of Hovhannes Toumanian, celebrated as the 'Poet of All Armenians', and Biagioli's modern artistic exploration.
