The \u201cVelvet Sketches\u201d multimedia project<\/a> exposes the viewer to the story of the Velvet Revolution in Armenia in 2018. It features events that took place one year ago with different sensory windows and views.<\/p>\n

The \u201cVelvet Sketches\u201d is a web documentary. The author of the project, Natalie Harutyunyan, said that in the days of the revolution, the Media Initiatives Center staff had taken photos and videos which needed to be used and archived in some format.  <\/p>\n

\u201cIn those days, people expressed their complaints in different media formats. In \u201cVelvet Sketches,\u201d we have separated them according to listening, seeing, acting, speaking, and used different tools to help a person to transport themselves to the days of the revolution again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to the author, they used videos, photos, without comments, accompanying texts, testimonies, audio material for the project. \u201cThrough this project, we have tried to extend the borders of the media and show that in addition to the tools of journalism, citizens had also applied interesting, creative approaches.<\/p>\n

The windows, from which the revolution can be seen, are sorted out in such a way that makes it possible to see the panorama of the revolution, listen to the noise of the street from those days, experience the anxiety, fear, expectations, see the rhythm of the work of journalists, the public\u2019s emotions.<\/p>\n

The four windows of the \u201cVelvet Sketches\u201d present the things that had been seen, heard and done during the days of the revolution, from a distance in time, in analysis and reflection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The photos and videos bring us back to the stormy days of the revolution. Here you see the chronology of events as people united, began to operate in segments but coordinated, they went to the streets, they felt the importance of their steps.<\/p>\n

In this section, you will see how the media representatives presented the revolution, what they say and emphasize. Emotions and actions are mixed together just like in April-May last year.<\/p>\n

People with their photos, their videos, weren\u2019t interfering with journalists but added additional information about what was happening, new colors.<\/p>\n

The \u201cVelvet Sketches\u201d project tells about the active citizens of those days, about their motivation and ingenuity.<\/p>\n
