Armenian society has long been marked by a clear division of gender roles. Traditionally, women have been associated with qualities like gentleness, sensuality, and nurturing, while men have been linked with traits such as efficiency, pragmatism, independence, and strength. Women have typically been tasked with caring for the family and managing the household, while men have been expected to work outside the home and maintain dominance within the family.

Performance art is part and parcel of contemporary art, which, in turn, is very much associated with conceptual art. It would be unfair to say that this genre is a novelty in Armenia. In fact, performance art in Armenia dates back to the final decades of the Soviet Union, when it was marginal and ran parallel to the officially approved genres.

ARé Cultural Foundation, which holds yearly festivals of performance art, is a leading institution in this field in Armenia, having behind its back years of tradition in this genre and a rich record of cooperation with a good number of local and foreign artists.
