They say
WE HAVE
TO LEAVE
Echoes of Artsakh: displaced voices provide an immersive living-memory testament to loss, survival & hope.
They Say We Have to Leave is an immersive documentary installation that amplifies the lived experiences of those affected by the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) in September 2023, when more than 120,000 ethnic Armenians were forced to leave their homes with no right to return.
This project stands as a living archive of memory, bearing witness to the untold stories of Artsakh. Through this work, we honor voices silenced by displacement, inviting viewers to confront the realities of loss, survival, and enduring hope. By refusing to let these stories fade, we challenge forgetting and stand in solidarity with those who remain unheard.
