Anush Babajanyan, Nagorno-Karabakh War and Exodus
The series centres around the many years of conflict that have ravaged the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, stretching along the southeast of the Lesser Caucasus. It was an area predominantly inhabited by Armenians until they fled in September 2023. The photographer shows the threat, displacement and uncertain future of the families she portrays. Babajanyan was born in Armenia in 1983 and lives in Germany. Her work has received numerous awards and she is a member of Agency VII.
