Through different exhibits going on in Yerevan and being around some incredibly talented artists, I've become even more exposed to the power of communicating beyond mere words.
Here are a few pictures from a recent photo exhibit titled mOther Armenia held at the Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art in Yerevan. For the first time ever, the showcase featured the work of 10 female photographers telling stories of Armenian life from their perspective.
Many of the themes they covered were of taboo issues and topics that are often ignored. Topics like non-combat deaths in the army, people living with disabilities, violence against women, the creative use of everyday items, and those rejected as outcasts or misfits by society.
Just walking through the exhibit and seeing the photostories showed me a side of society here I had never seen before.
