"Urban Dialogue" centers around an architectural model of Yerevan, serving as more than a mere city representation; it acts as a platform for dialogue, awareness, and the preservation of our architectural heritage.

Our mission is to address critical issues within Yerevan's architectural landscape. Many buildings and public spaces, some of historical significance, are at risk of demolition or abandonment.

We aspire to make our audience active participants in the dialogue surrounding architectural environments. To accomplish this, we've crafted an architectural model of Yerevan. Additionally, there's a box of interactions for visitors to add to the model, serving as visual representations of the community's thoughts and ideas, showcasing a diverse range of perspectives.

In a world of rapid development and change, our project encourages us all to pause, reflect, and participate in preserving our architectural legacy. Through this project, we aim to create a stronger sense of community and a collective commitment to safeguarding the beauty, history, and character of our beloved city.

🟣Translating Transition
In the framework of a project Pause/Play: Culture under Pressure

Exhibition curator Anna Titovets Intektra
Project initiator and program director Alexandra Goloborodko

The process of translation entails finding the correct way to convey meaning from one language to another. The title, both metaphorically and in practice, alludes to the perpetual need to discover new methods of translation to adapt to the evolving circumstances of life in exile, particularly for those who recently had to leave their homes due to political and geopolitical reasons. People who were forced to leave their home countries, to cut a lot of both professional and personal ties, are facing the challenges of the need to “translate” not only the language and new cultural semiotic system into everyday life as immigrants but also to make everyday efforts to get to know and comprehend the otherness, to integrate into the new cultural context and social structures and re-evaluate their own identity in these new circumstances. The projects presented at the exhibition primarily reflect or are influenced by the struggles and the process of discovering new grounds and means to forge fresh ties and get new meanings.
The exhibition consists of the art projects realised by participants of the project Pause/Play: Culture under Pressure from the previous year as well as work-in-progress projects from the current year.

📍Address: Goethe-Zentrum Eriwan, 1 Mher Mkrtchyan St, Yerevan, Armenia

Pause / Play: Culture under Pressure is organized by Kultuschafft e.V., CSN Lab and Untitled Tbilisi, with financial support from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
