Documentation and Street Art was carried out in Vardablur, a village in northern Armenia, during an art residency in August 2025. The project combined documentary photography with large-scale street art, bringing portraits of villagers into public space. Alongside photographing daily life and people, a series of workshops was organized with local youth. Each day included both theoretical discussions about documentary practice and practical walks through the village to photograph and observe.
The workshops aimed to introduce participants to the language of street art and emphasize the value of documenting one’s own community. About sixteen middle and high school students took part, with occasional visitors from nearby villages. Their contributions became part of the final outcome: portraits and documentary images displayed on village walls, merging private memory with shared space.
The project also extended into the surrounding landscape through the ongoing Blojik storytelling series, creating an additional layer of collective memory. Documentation and Street Art sought to preserve, reimagine, and publicly share fragments of rural life, where the boundaries between art, community, and lived experience naturally dissolve.
