Born in 1990 in Hrazdan, Armenia. She has lived in Spain and currently works in Paris. A transdisciplinary artist and performer, Araks Sahakyan articulates her research around questions such as memory, uprooting or migration; individual and collective history in its possible translations. Her aesthetic repertoire draws from the popular culture of the 90's; a legacy of her own experience shared between several countries. Graduated from the National Superior School of Arts
d'Arts de Paris-Cergy with honors in 2018, she is currently in a Research Year in Research-Creation at ENS Paris-Saclay and in residence at Abbaye de Maubuisson. In 2022, she exhibited at Giudecca Art District in Venice, at New
Wight Gallery UCLA in Los Angeles and at TAMAT Musée de la Tapisserie et des Arts Textiles de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles in Tournai. Araks was awarded the FoRTE grant from the Fonds Régional pour les talents émergents d'Ile-de-France in 2020, the
Transverse grant for a duo project in 2021 and recently the Pluri-Identitats prize by the MUA in Spain.
