"Beyond Waiting...Stories from Turkey-Armenia Border" will be exhibited
in Yerevan, Armenia at the Armenian Center for Contemporary and
Experimental Art (ACCEA) from August 27 to September 7, 2013.
The Hrant Dink Foundation, YIC Youth Initiative Centre in Gyumri,
Galata Fotografhanesi and Free Press Unlimited are jointly holding the
multimedia exhibition "Beyond Waiting... Stories from Turkey-Armenia
Border".
The five multimedia documentaries jointly produced by Aleksey Manukyan,
Anıl Cizmecioglu, Anush Babajanyan, Arif Yaman, Armenuhi Vardanyan,
Deniz Pekkıyıcı, Eren Aytug, Marianna Vardanyan, Sofia Danielyan
and Volkan Dogar will be open for visitors from August 27th to
September 7th 2013, at ACCEA/NPAK Armenian Center for Contemporary
and Experimental Art, in Yerevan.
Sealed in 1993, the Turkey-Armenia border continues to divide people,
villages, railway tracks, children's laughter and memories. "Beyond
Waiting" captures the daily lives of people in the border cities Kars
and Gyumri as well as the years of interrupted dialogue. The station
workers waiting for years and years for a train that never comes;
Gyumri's Kima who have been waiting for years for a guest from Turkey
to come and knock on her door; the children of Bayandur who break
the silence of the border with their music; Sofia whose path crosses
with the inhabitants of a Kars neighbourhood awaiting demolition due
to urban gentrification plans, while she was looking for the traces
of her grandfather; a Kurd and an Armenian whose voice try to reach
each other as they face their past traumas do all call us to listen,
speak and act "beyond waiting".
The five multimedia documentaries, to be exhibited in Yerevan thanks to
the support of the Embassy of the United States, were produced within
the scope of the "Multimedia for Dialogue" project supported by the
Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the British
Embassy. The project aims to create an enabling environment for the
joint productions of young photographers from Turkey and Armenia,
to strengthen their voice through new forms of storytelling and to
contribute to dialogue between the two neighbouring countries.
