Early life and education

Born in Yerevan in 1992, Chakhian is a cultural anthropology graduate of Yerevan State University, whose academic interests include the semiotics of the city, “reading” the city as a text.[1] Chakhian combines poetry with visual arts, such as paper collages she exhibited in Armenia and Brussels.[1]

She edits the internet magazine iranliter.com, focusing on translations of contemporary Iranian poetry.[1]

Awards

Her awards include the Dionizy Maliszewski Literary Competition (2014), Gazeta Obywatelska prize (2016), the First Lady of Armenia's literary award, and the Sahak Partev prize, a prize awarded by the Catholic Church in Armenia.[1] Her first poetry collection was nominated for the 2018 European Poet of Freedom Award, an award dedicated to "honouring and promoting phenomena in poetry that deal with one of the most crucial subjects for contemporary readers – freedom – and, at the same time, are characterized by outstanding artistic values."[2][3]

gollark: No, but it's nice to be able to refer to "Protagonism Street" and have there be no ambiguity.
gollark: ./warp choruscity
gollark: Which we probably do have right now, actually. There are something like... three cities. Cherryville is tiny, Chorus City uses weird names picked by me, and Switch City, well, has roads.
gollark: But I mean globally unique street names in Switchcraft.
