2020 to now
I first came to Armenia in December 2020, weeks after the war ended. I have kept coming back. These are the strands of that work, in the order they happened: community documentary, workshops with children, film, an archive, and the protests in between.
December 2020
Community documentary
The first visit, weeks after the ceasefire and at the height of Covid. Aid halls, an art class, a bakery, women from Artsakh in Oshakan and the families of the fallen. Where everything began.
