Politics of Culture: Canadian-Armenian artists speak about the role of culture in civil society

When an artist stops taking risks, he stops being an artist; and art stops being art, when it is mixed with politics.

So were the viewpoints expressed by Canadian-Armenian film Director Atom Egoyan and his actress/wife Arsinee Khanjian at “Politics of Culture”, a dialogue presented in Yerevan by the Civilitas Foundation and Counterpart International.

I saw Atom and Arsineh walking down Abovyan street. Such a hamble and modest couple, I wish all our celebrities took an example from them. Long live Arsineh plus Atom.
