Levon Kafafian is a Detroit-based artist telling stories about speculative worlds and futures by weaving together the narrative threads of costume, artifact, performance and installation. They infuse their work with future ancestral practice, hybridity and magic, channeling the Armenian diasporic imaginary.
Kafafian has exhibited at CUE Foundation (New York, Ny; 2025), MoCAD (Detroit, Mi; 2024), UM Stamps Gallery (Ann Arbor, Mi; 2023), Arab American National Museum (Dearborn, Mi; 2019) and co-led a 7-week weaving program with Trapholt Museum for Moderne Kunst (Denmark, 2022).
