Our Tree of Indifference has Born Fruit
On April 8, 2013, citizens of Vanadzor had an opportunity to harvest the fruits from the tree of their indifference. That day a group of activists from Peace Dialogue NGO organized an event called “The Tree of Our Indifference,” which took place at Artsakh Park of Vanadzor.
A Public Action Entitled “We are Conscious” in Vanadzor (Video)
Approximately 60 participants added their own perceptions to the spontaneous action. A group of people expressed their support to those Armenian citizens who, despite many frauds, pressures, and the atmosphere of fear, found power in themselves to vote for their preferred candidates. In their opinion, the action was not a political but a civic one and no matter how the political powers resolve the issue in the end, they intended to support the common citizen.
SWEN (VIDEO)
The video aims to reveal the issue of propaganda in a more obvious and symbolic way–a somewhat simplified way. We are planning to continue the series and to film the second part of the cartoon, which is going to be devoted not to TV but printed media.
