Silvina Der-Meguerditchian

Works

Der-Meguerditchian uses circuit boards to create a tapestry. They come from the northern Armenian city of Dilijan. The company Impuls, which produced electronic components for the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union, opened in this health resort town in 1963. Approximately 70 percent of the workers were women, and it is their stories Der-Meguerditchian now looks back on. In addition to her tapestry, Der-Meguerditchian displays photographs that tell the stories of everyday life of women employed by Impuls as scientists and workers.
