“Accidental” Encounters with the Ottoman Armenians in Contemporary Turkey

Eray Çaylı · 2015

Catalogue summary

Using the idea of an accident that repeatedly reappears, the essay follows present-day encounters with Ottoman Armenian persecution through human remains, landscapes, buildings, rivers, and geological fractures across Turkey.

Why this matters

Its spatial and temporal approach connects material traces of Armenian violence to contemporary truth-making rather than confining them to a sealed past.
