Between Truth & Fiction: A Reflection Piece
During Between Truth and Fiction, a creative writing lab led by Anna Schwartzman of Columbia University at the TUMO Center in Yerevan, teenagers examined deception in all its forms — from Armenian trickster tales to global myths, modern literature, and the illusions of today’s technologies. Through reading, discussion, and handwritten storytelling, they discovered how lies can harm, protect, or illuminate, and how fiction itself is a kind of artful trickery.
