Join us on Thursday, October 22nd at 5:45 pm PST on Zoom for HyeBred’s first ever virtual reading, in promotion of our eighth issue but more importantly to raise funds for Armenia and Artsakh, currently beset by war and foreign aggression.

This event will be sponsored by the talented women behind Kooyrigs and the team working hard at Amplify Armenia. We’ll also have a set of giveaways of art from Nor Ashkhar, an awesome face mask from Rogue_States’ Caro Yagjian, and a t-shirt from St. Gregory Tees made in response to the Armenian Church fire in Northern California.

We want to bring together the best of Armenian expression and proudly assert the grace and power of our culture. You don’t have to participate to attend, so if you’re interest, please register by clicking here. We will be happy to have you as a viewer or speaker!

Now more than ever, it’s important to make sure our voices are heard — the Armenia we all believe in and fight for, the independent Artsakh as bastion against oppression, these ideals are present in our hearts AND our voices. We are creators, unites, and fierce advocates for a just world.
