Aydin Cetinbostanoglu - Armenians in Turkey
Photography
The biggest obstacle of the peace in the society is the prejudgments that are created by the official discourses. Without researching and reading, we are oriented by the imposed thoughts. One of the most important duties of the artists is to encourage the individuals to think different and show the people that sometimes their thoughts might be different than the others. In this perspective, I think the photography is an important tool.
The aim of my project is to take photos of this culture by having friendships with them and to demonstrate to my people. Also, to decrease the prejudgments and change their thoughts about Armenians.
