13 minPost-Diy is directed at the circumstances surrounding the bombing attack of the queer bar in Yerevan called ‘DIY.’ It aims to produce both a visual and a verbal language that constructs and narrates life after the tragic event that took place on May 8, 2012. If the attack on DIY can be read as an act to silence and establish exclusionary societal norms by eradicating what is perceived as transgressive, then this video documents the fact that life goes on no matter what. It questions the desire to establish uniformity and totalitarianism in the post‐independent phase of the Armenian Republic and seeks out the beauty residing in a dissident relationship between two women.
