The Public Sphere in Armenia
16:16, December 20, 2012
What are the perceptions of the public sphere in Armenia? What was the
public sphere during the Soviet Union? Which are the priority issues
of the public sphere? Who makes decisions regulating the public sphere
and where? Who can participate in that decision-making process and
how?
This and other issues are covered in the film through interviews with
art-critic Nazareth Karoyan and art expert Vardan Azatyan. The film
also presents a short visual chronology of 20th century Armenia and
shows the efforts of self-organized communities towards saving public
spaces from commercialization. The film aims at creating new platforms
for discussion on the issues raised.
