    "Beyond Waiting...Stories from Turkey-Armenia Border" will be exhibited
    in Yerevan, Armenia at the Armenian Center for Contemporary and
    Experimental Art (ACCEA) from August 27 to September 7, 2013.

    The Hrant Dink Foundation, YIC Youth Initiative Centre in Gyumri,
    Galata Fotografhanesi and Free Press Unlimited are jointly holding the
    multimedia exhibition "Beyond Waiting... Stories from Turkey-Armenia
    Border".

    The five multimedia documentaries jointly produced by Aleksey Manukyan,
    Anıl Cizmecioglu, Anush Babajanyan, Arif Yaman, Armenuhi Vardanyan,
    Deniz Pekkıyıcı, Eren Aytug, Marianna Vardanyan, Sofia Danielyan
    and Volkan Dogar will be open for visitors from August 27th to
    September 7th 2013, at ACCEA/NPAK Armenian Center for Contemporary
    and Experimental Art, in Yerevan.

    Sealed in 1993, the Turkey-Armenia border continues to divide people,
    villages, railway tracks, children's laughter and memories. "Beyond
    Waiting" captures the daily lives of people in the border cities Kars
    and Gyumri as well as the years of interrupted dialogue. The station
    workers waiting for years and years for a train that never comes;
    Gyumri's Kima who have been waiting for years for a guest from Turkey
    to come and knock on her door; the children of Bayandur who break
    the silence of the border with their music; Sofia whose path crosses
    with the inhabitants of a Kars neighbourhood awaiting demolition due
    to urban gentrification plans, while she was looking for the traces
    of her grandfather; a Kurd and an Armenian whose voice try to reach
    each other as they face their past traumas do all call us to listen,
    speak and act "beyond waiting".

    The five multimedia documentaries, to be exhibited in Yerevan thanks to
    the support of the Embassy of the United States, were produced within
    the scope of the "Multimedia for Dialogue" project supported by the
    Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the British
    Embassy. The project aims to create an enabling environment for the
    joint productions of young photographers from Turkey and Armenia,
    to strengthen their voice through new forms of storytelling and to
    contribute to dialogue between the two neighbouring countries.
