Summary
Alfortville’s Maison de la culture arménienne will host the 21st Armen’Livres Armenian book fair from 26 to 29 November 2026, an event that draws more than a thousand visitors each year. The programme features the photo exhibition “La photographie, un regard arménien”, including Antoine Agoudjian, Armineh Johannes, Bardig Kouyoumdjian, Camille Lévêque and Rebecca Topakian, marking photography’s bicentenary. Youth photo workshops are planned on 26–27 November, a musical late evening on the 27th, then a literary weekend with signings on 28–29 November, with Arnaud Delalande, Herminé Avagyan and the Zarzavatdjians among the guests. The fair takes place at the Parvis des Arts in Alfortville, a hub of the Armenian diaspora in the Paris region.
Analysis
Armen’Livres remains one of the main cultural gatherings for Armenians in France, mixing books, images and intergenerational transmission. The 2026 edition puts photography at the centre, beyond a classic book fair. That framing helps readers place the day’s news in a longer arc, for the diaspora as well as for those who follow politics in Yerevan.
