INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE & WORKSHOP‘Culture in Conflict: The South Caucasus today’

Vienna, World Museum, May 13th-14th, 2022

Flanked by the Black and Caspian Seas, situated between Europe and Asia, the geopolitically important Caucasus has experienced many conflicts and instability. The coexistence of a wide variety of ethnic, linguistic and religious groups has repeatedly created tensions, but has also fostered the development of specific local traditions and cultures. Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Armenian Karabakh (Artsakh) in particular, have witnessed cultural conflicts and even open warfare in recent decades, most recently in the autumn of 2020, in the war over Artsakh.
