“We Drink Water From The Same River” is an experimental short video art based on performative practices, dreams and envisionings of the author, where she comes acroos with the duality, inner “darkness”, which is filled with the spiritual wisdom and ancient Tsakhur rituals of women of my family, passed over from generation to generation.
The film was produced in the frame of the Online Art Residency Accompanied by a Long-term Mentorship Program & Production Grant for South Caucasian Women Photographers for the Year 4 of MagiC Carpets April-September 2021 mentored by Newsha Tavakolian/Magnum Photos.
Film duration: 9 minutes.
