New ISBN: 9789944595407 CATALOG: Photographs KEYWORDS: photography Art Armenian Turkish Armenian Relationships As ten photographers from Istanbul and Erivan we gathered in March 2006 and decided to perform a collective workshop. Our point of origin was the insufficient knowledge of our societies about each other. Living together and sharing the same land for more than hundreds of years and being geographical neighbors, we still had a huge gap between us. MERHABAREV has been a special workshop performed by people who are in favor of the dialogue between two nations, who wish to reopen all the closed doors and boundaries, who know very well that it was essential first to open the borders in our heads, who believe in demolishing the taboos, in expressing the beliefs in freedom and in discussing the past and future openly. During one of our conversations Arto Tuncboyaciyan has said: 'If you are honest to yourself, your photos will be real'. For documentary photographers the reality is very essential. To find our way through the reality appearances we are aware of the importance of honesty, justice and freedom. There is another important truth which should be considered very serious: all the nations, actually all the mankind can only develop and create a better world by confronting with its past. The only condition for that is freeing ourselves from the slavery of the past.
