What does it mean to live in a country that has been at war for 30 years? What future is possible to imagine when peace is constantly hanging by a thread? What are the dreams, the hopes, the rights of a community tied to its land, its culture, a thousand-year history?
These questions are the starting point for the long-term project that Roberto Travan began in 2016 in Nagorno Karabakh, in the South Caucasus.
A journey through the eyes of a peaceful people forced to endure a conflict essentially ignored by the media and the international community: the endless war for the possession of this region that Stalin in 1920 took from Christian Armenia and sewed to Muslim Azerbaijan.
The exhibition will be inaugurated at 10 a.m. on 3 September in the presence of the author Roberto Travan in dialogue with Alice Pistolesi; reservations are required to participate.
On 9 September from 5 p.m. onwards, it will be possible to visit the exhibition with a reservation and/or ticket for the Festival events to be held at the Bell of the Fallen: Nagorno Karabakh the endless dispute in the heart of the Caucasus and Odi e lamenti di pace dell'Armenia.
The exhibition will remain open until 4 October, but a ticket must be paid to enter the War Memorial Bell.
