After years of writing in near-total solitude, Ani Asatryan presents her debut trilingual graphic novel One Meme Away from War - composed for the artistic community - premiered at the Frankfurter Buchmesse. In 2024, Ani premiered the Raw Reading Sessions at Villa Empain, Brussels staging literary interventions and pre-publication excerpts from forthcoming works. In 2025, the Sessions expand across the the Mediterranean, Europe and North America, with readings in Nicosia (Sep 2025), Frankfurt (Oct 2025), and Brighton (Jan 2026). One Meme Away from War follows Maro, a child in a World War I orphanage whose voice surfaces through archival diaries and contemporary testimonies. The work resists the flattening of war into statistics or distant news cycles, recomposing fragmented memories into a polyphonic narrative that refuses both silence and spectacle. Her translated works are permanently archived in the New York Public Library, Columbia University Libraries, and the University of Michigan Library.
