Anahit Pogosian is a first-generation Armenian American interdisciplinary artist and educator whose practice explores the contours of human experience through ecology, myth, and movement. Raised between Moscow and Yerevan and now based in New York City, Pogosian brings a cross-cultural perspective to dynamic works that celebrate life while deepening awareness of our relationship to the natural world. Guided by a belief in art as an embodied practice rooted in experimentation, ritual, and relational making, their work reflects a sustained interest in ocean conservation and the forces through which natural systems shape our shared reality.


Pogosian’s work encompasses both conceptual object making and collaborative, process-driven world-building projects. Their sculptural and material practice includes ceramic, lost-wax, PLA, bronze, and aluminum casting, among other media. Drawing from neuroaesthetic inquiry, their work considers how form, texture, and movement shape perception and attention. Their creative range also extends into art direction, production design, and prop styling for editorial and experiential projects.


Their education blends intuitive practice with formal arts training at The Cooper Union, The School of Visual Arts, SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, and Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado. They hold a BA in Political Science with a minor in Studio Art from Queens College, CUNY, where they are also pursuing an MFA in Sculpture.


In 2010, Pogosian founded Forma Studio, which became a home for their creative output and collaboration. By 2017, their ceramic work was carried by the Museum of Contemporary Art and ABC Home & Carpet, and featured in The New York Times Magazine, Domino, WWD, and Sight Unseen. Their work has been presented in exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, and Paris.


In 2022, Pogosian launched Armenian Joy, an archival photography project and diasporic collaboration that now includes over 75 contributors and is evolving toward a published collection of origin stories. Pogosian’s practice is informed by diasporic memory and intergenerational survival, shaped by histories of displacement and repair.
